Help alleviate my boredom

Anyone else like puns?

Today I'm going to try to collect "Tom Swiftys"

If you've never heard of them, here is the wikipedia definition:
"A Tom Swifty (or Tom Swiftie) is a phrase in which a quoted sentence is linked by a pun to the manner in which it is attributed. Tom Swifties may be considered a type of Wellerism."

Here are a few examples:
"I took the criminal to the basement" said Tom condescendingly.
"I've dropped by toothpaste" said Tom crestfallen.
"I don't have any flowers" said Tim lackadaisically.

I've you can think of any pls add
If you hate puns...im sorry

This thread did a *horrible* job at alleviating my boredom yesterday!


Here is story pun worthy of Sero

One day a man, walking down a street, hears the most beautiful piano music he had ever heard. He looks around and finds that the music is coming from a small pub just down the road. When he enters the pub he is astonished by the most amazing thing he has ever seen. A small man, roughly 1 foot tall, playing a miniature piano at the end of the bar.

The man asks the bar keep, “Where did you find him? He is amazing!”
The bar keep tells him “I found this magic lamp with a genie inside and made a wish, but....”
The man interrupts, “That great! Do you still have the lamp? I’d love to make a wish.”
The bar keep answers cautiously, “I do, but be careful what you wish for”. He then retrieves the magic lamp from behind the bar and hands it to the man.

The man rubs the lamp excitedly, and when the genie pops out, the man whispers to the genie “I wish for a million bucks!”.
The genie looks puzzled for a moment then says, “What was that?”
The man again whispers, this time a bit louder to be heard over the piano music, “I wish for a *million bucks*”.
The genie replies, “Okay. Done!” -POOF- and returns inside the lamp.

A few seconds later tens of thousands of DUCKS come flying through the bar and head straight for the man. Once all the commotion settles, the man, looking very confused asks the bar keep, “What are all these DUCKS doing here, I wished for a million BUCKS!!!”

The bar keep simply replies, “I said be careful…what do you think *I* wished for? A 12 inch pianist?”
