If you took the W in "answer", the H in "ghost", the extra A in "aardvark" and the T in "listen", you could keep saying WHAT but no one would ever hear you because the whole word would be silent.

I also like puns. There is one that I learned from my collage instructor when she said "Tail wagging the dog".

I think that this means don't worry about things that come in the future until it happens. Is this right?

I'm sure you meant college instructor... unless she happened to be a master at creating collages!

Actually, "tail wagging the dog" is an idiom, not a pun!

It means a tiny part is trying to control a whole. For example, if I'm a new employee who tries to boss around my co-workers, I'm a tail wagging the dog!

Yes, this is what I meant. After writing this, I remembered it being called an idiom, but I thought that maybe it was a kind of pun. Thank you.

So it means something small taking control of more then it should?

Looks like mezzanotte is "fiddling" around with his avatar.

Have been planning this idea tear able puns
You ever see one of those postings where there are tear off phone numbers on the bottom.
Write tearable puns on the main msg then write pun on each of the tear offs on the bottom

Those remarks are way off bass! But there's no sense in haydn one's opinions. I have to face the music: the violin just doesn't strike a chord with everyone.

We WP'ers dont approve of graphic sax, or graphic violins, as avatars!

So put a new avatar on your Chopin Liszt!

Can you spare me a tenor?

These puns are really suite. And I agree: we must altogether avoid avatars depicting sax, violins, bitonality, and anything else that is viol and bass.
