      Is there such thing as third class mail?

      I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

        😍 Ohw yeah that's the right answer.

        well in dutch it means "the close encounter= close meeting"
        so I put a magnifier on the 3. and the trumpets is the sound
        that the ship make.

          There is third class mail or there was. I don't know what the magnifying glass would have to do with it, though.

            Either "inspection of", or focus on this, rather than other classes? As long as the trend is toward the esoteric?

                How about just plain "See"? 😉

                    one of my personal favorites. a 1959 take on the classic "39 Steps" which was then remade in 2009. Check em out!!!

                    Only Cary Grant can run thru a corn field in a Brooks Brothers suit and look immaculate. This scene although part of Hollywood Legend, was always far-fetched to me. He gets the directions from Eva Marie Saint, which send him to a rural crossroads in Indiana. .. and not once does he say to himself. . ."am i being set up here?"

                        Ok, it has been a slow week. So why not revive another old thread, this time from 7 years ago. 😄

                        So what is the visual pun?

                          Eric. . .Glad to see this oldie being revived. It was fun back in the day--even though I was never any good at it back then.

                          And I'm still not it seems. I have no idea what this picture is, but anything that involves a poop emoji has got to be hilarious, right? 💚

                              I've only just found this thread - well I joined around 2013, so missed most of it. I read the lot and laughed until I couldn't breath! I still think 'soccer' should have been shadow boxing, 'Karioke' was 'heavy print', 'Seifeld' was 'stand-up comics', I'm absolutely sure 'love machine' should be 'heart-(r)vending'. Costofinkel's first comment on p33 had me in fits... and Tobobo's cat hook comment on p46....I need oxygen!
                              Oh and the new Boofredlay's new one - something to do with cutting loose of sh*t, man!

                                Glad you got a good laugh from these. 👍
                                A good few of these can definitely have more than one "correct" answer apart from the author's intent.

                                        Good guesses but now.
                                        Hint: The answer has to do with shopping.

                                            wow..I never realized there were so many ways to say the same thing.
                                            Back to the pun-one other thought came to mind Unchained Malady not so much to do with shopping though.
