Old Puns Never Die...

I am cleaning out my gmail box. Here is a punny IM monologue that I e-mailed myself from work on July 24, 2008, which makes it just about three months old today. Surprisingly, it does not seem to have improved with age. Happy Friday!

hehe... so, you ever have one of those times when you are so punny that you just despise yourself?

luaphacim [3:47 PM]:
I had one of those times just now...

luaphacim [3:48 PM]:
the guy across from me was telling the girl who [phone] shadows him about a recent remodeling job his wife had done...

luaphacim [3:48 PM]:
she redid their kitchen...

luaphacim [3:48 PM]:
all new floors, cabinets, and countertops...

luaphacim [3:48 PM]:
he was under the impression that the countertops were genuine granite...

luaphacim [3:49 PM]:
they looked really nice, and he was pretty happy about it

luaphacim [3:49 PM]:
and then they were watching HGTV, and the lady on the show was talking about how they were using a budget composite rock for the countertops to kind of cut costs

luaphacim [3:49 PM]:
and my friend's wife remarked that they had done the same thing on their kitchen...

luaphacim [3:50 PM]:
he felt cheap and betrayed, because he had been under the impression that it was the genuine article

luaphacim [3:50 PM]:
at which point, I interjected, "Derek, it sounds like your problem was that you were taking it for granite."
