Now that made me laugh, Parson. I wish world leaders would get the point. Set aside all this wrangling and chest beating.

But I enjoy playing chess.

I guess you like to check up on folks.

Especially on my mate.

Think about where that line of punishment might lead! I was going to do a comeback but decided to let you have the last pun.

If she were from Czechoslovakia, I could say, "Czech, mate."

You'd have it hard finding anyone from there any more. Czech is now free of Slovakia. But I suppose mates don't always tell the whole story--only the good half. Does that mean she's been playing you all along?

She did once a-pawn a time.

Sounds like you've been rooked.

And we have our own castle.

Even with her checkered past? You must never be board.

Oh no, Never board. We give each other space - especially when one of us is jumpy or needs to move around.
That reminds me of the story of an Anglican Bishop who walked straight into a tavern and was immediately thrown out because bishops can only move diagonally.

And that reminds me of the knight who was thrown out of chapel for horsing around.

Neigh! Say it isn't so.
Johann Strauss was an avid mountain climber who once waltzed himself into deep trouble. He lost his footing and found himself hanging by his fingertips over a bottomless gorge.
Another climber heroically came to his rescue and just managed to grab Johann by a strap of his backpack to save the Maestro's life.
Since then, the act of trying to get out of a seemingly hopeless situation has come to be known as grasping at Strauss.

Folks use their mantels when stocking up on gifts.

I put some turnips, his least-favorite vegetable, on my eleven-year-old son's dinner plate and instructed him to eat everything. He cleaned his plate, except for the turnip.
I pointed out to him that if he'd eaten it earlier, he wouldn't have been left with its taste in his mouth at the end of the meal.
Thoughtfully, he replied, "I guess I was just trying to delay the inedible."

Many folks turnip their noses at that veg.

A few more puns:
Have you heard about the Chinese restaurant that stays open twenty-four hours a day? It's called Wok Around the Clock.

"Heck, no, we aren't even Catholic!
Mischievous lambs post their videos on EweTube.
Back in the days when the guillotine was first used, people wondered, "Is this what we may beheaded for in the future? "

Love the one about the sisters. I have to pass that one to my husband. He loves jokes although puns aren't his favorite kind but I think he'll like this one.
If you tell them often enough you become a re-pun-zealot.

Purple is thought of as a royal colour so I believe it belongs on a Christmas tree. Loved the puzzle. One of my favourite colours, the other being shades of blue. And of course, it's shades of purple. Take care, everyone.

Purple is the liturgical color for Advent--the season in preparation for Christmas in the Catholic Church.
