As long as you can get the truck within chute reach, you're golden. And it takes two people . . . one to run the truck, one to move the chute.

The road crew my dad was on used to do that any time they needed more than a few gabions filled . . . and the concrete companies didn't mind very much, since they didn't have the risks of concrete, and it would actually clean the drums!

Go to your room! You are grounded! And pay the pun jar on your way upstairs!

Don't be so hard on Al, please. When it comes to puns, it's obvious that he's a sakrete admirer. If you're too harsh with him, the rebarcussions could be severe.

(When you say he's grounded, I assume you're saying he's Ufer grounded, right?).

*throws up hands into the air disgustedly* There's no point trying to stop them. I give up!

The only place I've seen that is worse with puns is Wilde Life... Almost every page has a massive string of people punning off of each other somewhere in the comments. I actually think Dave might have trouble keeping up with them...

:? That is, if he isn't there already...

While Dave may hit the occasional slump, he still has a solid foundation to his punning and doubtless could produce plenty on the fly ash they are needed. It's an affliction without hope of curing, I'm afraid, no matter how far you may cast around for one.

You haven't been to the Cross-Time Cafe . . . weapons-grade fish puns, just for the halibut.

There are those at the forum need shunning
for their horrible habit of punning
not a concept or word
they'll not render absurd
and send all the rest of us running

For puns serve a purpose or two
(Just what I do not have a clue)
but duration and length
of industrial strength
has injured the minds of a few

so those who a pun might be forming
to assail us with punstrikes a swarming
run this through you sieve
we know where you live
and consider THAT adequate warning!
