I’m A Little Pail – Funny Shirt For Kids and Adults

2 Comments

I had high hopes for my “See Ya Later Excavator” Teespring campaign, but it just ended with zero purchases. Zero! But no worries, I’m branching out with a funny shirt that’s perfect for kids and adults alike.

Taking my love of puns and desire to spread the laughs (and groans) associated with them, shirts are the perfect outlet. Instead of Teespring, I’ve moved on to Skreened to create and sell the shirts I design.

My shop, conveniently named Going Dad, has a few excavator designs that would make a great funny shirt gift for boys and girls of all ages. I’ll share the small collection of excavator shirts soon, but I wanted to showcase my first non-excavator creation. Integrating a pun one liner I enjoy and a little artwork done by yours truly, I present to you my “I’m a little pail.” funny shirt.

Funny, right? It truly is a little pail, but also looks a bit queasy as if it were pale. Ahhh, the wonderful play on words, I love it!

As time passes, I’ll share more of what I create. I already have a new one waiting to be approved. For a little hint of what it is, it’s another pun and talks about naked people. Don’t worry, it’s not obscene.

If you or someone you know enjoys puns, please share my store and think about getting one (or a few) for yourself and as gifts. Any feedback/requests are welcome too.

Boys Just Want to Have Pun

2 Comments

Okay, I’m sure girls want to have pun too. But since I’m a guy, it the title only made sense. Either way, when it comes to puns, they just, well…..

Mouse Clicker Pun

I’ve racked up a few puns since the last pun post and it’s time to share. Groan, moan, laugh, cry, or stare with a blank look, whatever you do, hope at least one elicits a little smirk on your face.

  • I tried to think of a geology joke but the good ones Argon. I felt boulder and tried digging deeper, but that created too much pressure and I’ve hit rock bottom. Guess I took telling jokes for granite.
  • When the lost artist wandered into a war zone, he drew fire.
  • Finding a guard you can trust takes sentries.
  • Finding a good marionette to buy is complicated, there’s too many strings attached.
  • Chemistry teachers love giving periodic pop quizzes to their students.
  • I quit working at the sunglasses business because things seemed a little shady and my future felt dim.
  • War photographers shoot as many people as they want and know to never use a cannon.
  • Translators for the deaf perform an outstanding service, you have to hand it them.
  • There was a major conference on apathy, but no one cared to attend.
  • The newly hired oil rig crew quickly lost interest in their job when they found drilling was just boring.
  • Ever since the business owner needed more room for parking, he’s had a lot on his mind.
  • The elderly photographer tried to transition from using film to going digital, but nothing developed.
  • I asked my friend why he auditioned to cast in a water play without me. He said “I’m too swamped but meant to run it bayou since we’re on the same stream.” But it was too little too lake, his statement didn’t seem reel.
  • The tortillas tried forming a rock band, but ended up wrapping instead.
  • Throwing a cat out the window makes kitty litter.
  • Tennis players grunt too much when they play, I can’t stand all of the racket.
  • I saw Tony Stark looking upset at the doctor’s office because he just found out he had anemia. I heard his friend, James Rhodes, tell him, “You need some iron, man.”
  • Seeing all of the horses was scary at first, but everything kept stable since we didn’t stirrup any trouble.
  • She was scared when she found a skeleton her boyfriend’s closet, but he was just trying tibia a little humerus. He really gets under her skin.

If you liked these enough, please share with others. My blog is feeling a little down and could use some share love. Thanks in advance!

How to Heal A Dump Truck

how to heal a dump truck, cute, funny, kids

Hi-ya, Avery here! I’m just checking out the playground scene before heading over to my new friend, Yellow Dump Truck. I don’t know if goes by any other name, but he does have three big letters, GMC, on the front.

He’s been sitting in the same far corner of our neighborhood’s new development, we call it the Phase 3 Construction Site, where I explore all of the work trucks and workers building roads and homes. At first Daddy and I thought he was just resting, but after over a week of sitting around, it became obvious something was wrong.

After watching plenty of Bob the Builder and The Adventures of Chuck and Friends, I feel confident in the practice of dump truck healing. First things first, show plenty of love in the form of dump truck hugs.

Rounded areas work best to get wrap your arms around for maximum healing hugging power. I suggest the fenders to start, then move around to the bumper, front or back will do.

If you’re wondering if kissing helps the healing process, maybe, but I wouldn’t recommend it…….trust……me. Once you’ve used the power of love, it’s time for bandaids. Not just any bandaids, dump truck bandaids.

Duct Tape for Yellow Dump Truck

 

Those little flexi-strips we put on our fingers do nothing for massive dump trucks, they need heavy-duty bandages. Duct tape makes the perfect dump truck bandaid! Finding where your dump truck friend needs his or her bandage most can be difficult.

The best bet is to start where you see discoloration/missing pain as this typically indicates frequently used areas. Take, for instance, the step used for drivers to climb up and inside. Just look at all of the missing yellow paint. Even this big duct tape bandage pales in comparison to the size of his step boo-boo.

It’s not much, but it’s a start. There, all patched and ready to let the healing begin.

After the initial healing hugs and duct tape bandaids, it’s best to give it a day to see how your dump truck responds to the treatment. In the meantime, go for a walk, play on the playground, catch Pokemon, or swim, as I’m obviously ready to do.

The next day, return to the ailing dump truck to see if there are any signs of improvement. Right away, I could see Yellow Dump Truck was not feeling better. Just look at his hanging light!

I think you know what we need to do here….

…..more duct tape! Just reposition the light and apply the bandage.

Much better, I could sense a boost in the dump truck’s health after fixing his loose light.

Your dump truck is unique, so make sure to check him/her all over for specific spots that need duct tape bandaids. And, since you can never give too many hugs, finish off with another big dump truck hug.

Make sure to check back on your dump truck frequently to see if they are feeling better. Hopefully my Yellow Dump Truck will be back at it hauling dirt and rock soon. Until then, I’ll heed my own advice and check on him as we explore the Phase 3 Construction Site.

For the times you can’t make it out, I suggest making friends with other construction vehicles like cement mixers, skid-steers, and excavators. I’ve enlisted my mini-excavator friend to watch over Yellow Dump Truck while I’m away. They’ve become good friends, and I enjoy hanging with them both. That’s it for now, just healing hugs and duct tape along with the help of other work trucks should be all you need to heal an ailing work truck. I’m off to pretend drive this excavator, so goodbye for now!
