now, that is a brain, Stephan’s that is , addled not on drugs or booze, but puns. How does his family live with him making puns on everything they do? Men and their jokes, I guess that’s how they adapt; but the worse has got to be old, stale Dad jokes.

There’s an old joke no one young gets anymore about a group of fishermen with a truckload of fish being arrested for going over state lines because the fish were for immortal porpoises.
Through The Looking Glass (book):“Will you walk a little faster?” said a whiting to a snail.There’s a porpoise close behind us, and he’s treading on my tail…"… “If I’d been the whiting,” said Alice, I’d have said to the porpoise, ‘Keep back, please: we don’t want you with us!’”“They were obliged to have him with them,” the Mock Turtle said: “no wise fish would go anywhere without a porpoise.”

How long do you intend to hang out with your friend, Bob? Until it maxes your credit card on constantly going to the fish monger’s?

It would be similar with a cat.
If he had a cat that went everywhere with him, he would have a purr puss in life.

Teach the porpoise to drive. Then you can have a porpoise driven life.

if a porpoise had a purpose would it be a purposed porpoise or just an assumed porpoise? asking for a porpoise – errrrr, purpose
