101 in binary is 5 in base ten (or base 6). Uncleaned pools are base ICK! Punday Monday 101!
Welcome to Punday Monday!
It’s still Monday! I’ve been at the Faire all weekend, so I’m a bit knackered.
@freewritehouse has launched a fundraiser! The Freewrite House creates an atmosphere of supportive goofiness on Steem that helps me get through each day.
Go look at all the chaos!! There are perks, too! Visit today!
New To Punday?
Pull up a stool, order a spiked PUNch, and get to know some of the regulars. I'm your PUNtender, @improv.
How To Make a Pun
This contest is open to everyone. Here's a handy dandy guide on how to make a pun: Learn to Pun
Rules for the PUN-test:
- If you hope to win a prize, your pun must be your original work
- Puns must be relevant to the topic of the week to win a prize, but they can be very loosely related.

Rookie of the Week:
Pocket Choice Awards:
I am of the opinion that there are four responses to creative works one doesn’t like.
Constructive criticism. Help them get better!
Useful review. Help audience members know which of them will like and which won’t like this piece.
Outdo them. Demonstrate to yourself and others what “good” looks like.
Keep it to yourself.
There is, however, only one way to respond to creative work one DOES like.
Send them POCKET.

How do you determine which level of a hierarchy is the funniest? It's quite simple, you count how many jokes are successfully told p(er)rank.

Whew! What a professional jokester!
The humorous lawyer refused to take money from a fellow comedian. Instead, due to the controversial nature of the charges, and the notoriety that would come from the courtroom spectacle, he agreed to take the case quip ro quo.
Haaaa!
I tried to take a break and skip punning this week but alas, I JEST couldn't do it.
Hoped for more folks to show up this week. So far the participation is a JOKE.
Hi I'm dot, and I'm right on the spot with my work except for once when I slipped and hit my elbow. My coworkers all laughed at me. But, I went to the doctor, were he took an x-ray and found a fracture. Yea when it comes to use of my humerus, it's really not a funny bone.
How do you know when a Punday Monday joke isn't funny? When it doesn't make any cents... pa-dum-bump.....
Gahhhhhhh
