It's still MoK weekend. She furnished the pun.
It was visitors' day at the lunatic asylum. All the patients were standing
out in the courtyard and singing, Ave Maria, and singing it beautifully.
Oddly, each of them was holding a red apple in one hand and tapping it
rhythmically with a pencil.
A visitor listened in wonderment to the performance and then approached the
conductor. "I am a retired choir director", he said. "This is one of the
best choirs I have ever heard."
"Yes, I'm very proud of them", said the conductor.
"You should take them on tour", said the visitor. "What are they called?"
"In the beginning this was a big problem. One inmate wanted to call them the
Big Apple with Little Brown Seeds Singing Sons of Siam. But I said it was
too long and, anyway, none of them were from Siam. Then, another thought
The Pencil Leads was a good name but the others disagreed because they had
no one to write to."
"Well", the visitor asked, "What name did they finally agree on?"
"Surely that's obvious", replied the conductor. "They all agreed to call
themselves"...
... The Moron Tapanapple Choir.
Aww, Chit !! (grin)

Posted by: Tom on July 7, 2008 05:40 PMi've never been much of a fan of puns, but i read them every week and try not to groan too loud.
but i got curious about how much repetition of a bad one like this gets on the internet. there were 18 pages(!!) when i searched tapanapple, nearly all (not surprisingly) with moron in front.
so used nearly 180 different places. wow. and it's not even that good.
GOC was one of the 180 (second page) - pretty good for having just posted today.
/aside> carry on.
