5. That "thwack" noise I just heard must be the recoil from the stretch made by that pun.........

.....and it stings. But I like it.

Reminds me of my favorite joke. Which I will now tell:

Dawg was sat on a barstool and ordered a beer. The bartender told him, "We don't serve your kind around here, dawg" and, to make his point, shot dawg in the foot. Dawg goes off, limping back to his ranch to lick his wound.
A few weeks later dawg comes back into town, his six-guns strapped to his hips. The sheriff stops him and asks, "We're not gonna have any trouble outa you are we dawg?" To which dawg replied in a clear and sincere voice, "No sir, I'm just after the guy who shot my paw."
