Competition: [Week 1] Compunction for Puns: Pro Bowl Edition

Finished
[Week 1] Compunction for Puns: Pro Bowl Edition

While it has been 4 years since the DJB’s pun warriors last did battle in Punderdome, the Pro Bowl seems like the perfect time to bring back this groan inducing classic. Do you have what it takes to make us shake our heads and sigh at your puns?

Below you will be given a number of topics on which you will craft your best (worst?) and most groan inducing pun. While I'm not going to set a firm word limit, I will remind you all that brevity is the soul of wit. Each pun will be scored on a 1-10 scale based on humor, originality (very important) and groan factor and the highest overall scores will win (in the case of a tie, the highest and lowest pun scores will be dropped). Good luck!

Topics:

  1. The Aquarium (any creature you might find at one)
  2. Math
  3. Alcoholic beverages (real or Star Wars)
  4. Star Wars flora and fauna
  5. COMBO PUN FUN - Make a combination pun from 2 of the first 4 topics. Each pun will be judged separately for a total of 20 points.

Well, in Pro Bowl, one does have to bring their A game if they want to SEAL it in the puns comps.

Though sometimes when you are stuck, it can really ADD to your MULTIPLE stresses.

Ah well, if I don't place for the pun comp, I guess I will grin and BEER it.

At the end of the day, I am here to represent the team, so those who don't like my puns can put a PORG in it.

Though I hope it doesn't SUBTRACT from the experience, because I don't want to FISH or WINE for approval when I step up to WOMP the competition.-

Why do Bettas fight? They can never figure out who’s alpha.

Understanding derivatives is integral to getting to the next half of the course.

What do you give a duck celebrating its new programming career? A Daiquiri.

How do Veshok Trees get their name? Kids climbing them often hang on for dear life as the branches tilt downwards and others would just shake the evergreen tree from side to side to help them fall to the ground.

A professor told his class they would make wine in their electronics lab today and all students were allowed to work together. At the lab, the TA gave them the instructions in the form of a sine wave and a circuit with a speaker. Confused, one student put together the circuit and inputted the specifics of the waveform into the generator. Everyone flinched as it produced a whining sound.
