This is from Alice Collins. Bless her heart, this was in response to a previous story.

Oh, boy, do you need help, so I’m sending you a true story of one of my proudest moments. I had definitely been overdoing it, making one pun right after another and driving my friends crazy. Finally, one of them couldn’t take it anymore, and said, “Alice, if you make one more pun, I’m going to knock all of your teeth out.”

The reply was out of my mouth before I realized what I’d said. Without a moment’s hesitation, I answered, “By gum!”
