Ill Wind?

[edit]

Saxophone: An ill wind nobody blows good.

I had always believed this title was given to the oboe.


complete suckage - this article needs WORK

[edit]

"These are the souls that time men's tries" is a triple pun, which was originally used in a headline in the NYTimes.

I first saw this in 1967 on the timing scoring building at Sebring, Florida for the 12 Hours of Sebring Race.  Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.78.247.174 (talk) 16:18, 21 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

There's only a few perfect triples in English. Another is the sign to Ken Kesey's ranch: "No Left Turn Unstoned".

Again, this article SUCKS.

Probably not worth including here

[edit]

But I'll mention it on the Talk page anyway, since it's my favourite example of this pun: "A hard man is good to find." - Mae West
