Good-Afternoon Buoys & Gulls
While driving down the urban street leading to their home, He and She paused behind a pickup. The vehicle stopped and a teenager emerged. He opened the gate to the nearest driveway and the truck pulled in. She said to He, “Look, that guy has a boy to operate his gate. I want you to get a gate boy for our yard.”
He said, “But if I get a buoy, I have to get a gull.”
She said, “And why would that be?”
He said, “I don’t know, but one never sees a buoy without a gull. It must be a requirement.”
She said, “Okay,” and pointed. ”Look there’s already a gull in our driveway.”
He said, “Can’t be.”
She said, “Fine, it’s a Ringneck Dove, but it could have been a gull.”
He said, “No, it couldn’t. Hawaii doesn’t have gulls.”
She said, “And why doesn’t Hawaii have gulls?”
He said, “Because Hawaii is not a gender equity state.”
.
As usual, He got the last word and She got the gate.

He got the last word? How like a gull to say so.
Mm-hm, Doug — and you know that these posts are my way of getting the last word.
And before too long, it’ll be my tern.
There you go, love, robin me of my punchline. I think you’ve just broken the cardinal rule of partner blogging, besides which you’re driving me stork raving mad.
This was funny, and you did get the last word, unless the Amoeba makes a comment.
Bill — even if Amoeba makes a comment, because I always answer!
You are two birds of a feather!
Is that you’re polite way of labeling us as flighty, Linda?
Who needs punny Monday? The 2 of you of punny every day!
Karen, it’s a gift, what can we say?
Poor you, I think you should go to a “Last word” training course !
Nah, Gattina, classes like that are for bird brains.
Heehee, I loved this. Especially since I heard a little sample of this live on Skype!!
Jientje — sometimes we go several days without such an exchange, some days we speak in nothing but puns. This has been a very punny week.
LOL! This was so NOT what I was expecting…. But then… I have buoys AND gulls in MY neighborhood! hehehe…
Melli — soon we will, too. Plenty of gulls in Friday Harbor.
Oh Quilly, YOU a gate buoy? Owl’d you let that happen?
Susan — you know who assigned me the job.
I should dove seen it coming before I signed the lease on a gated property.
I am gull-able and buoy did you get me.
Nessa — I LOVE this comment, it set my heart aflutter.
you guys even make me forget my soar day!
Polona — we always hope out humor will be uplifting.
Nice punning around, chickadees!
Kelley — you quack me up.
I love your conversations.
Dr. John — you don’t think we’re a little flighty?
I did not see where this one was going! Very cute!
Church Lady — I didn’t, either. We were kind of all over the place!
