Sunday Funnies – LOLs – October 25, 2026

David Montgomery sends in this pair of chiasmuses? chaismi? chiasmae? Both are from October 18.

I went to Merriam-Webster online to look up the plural, but they don’t provide one; nor does the M-W Collegiate Dictionary, 11th edition. The example given online of the use of chiasmus cleverly avoids committing to a particular plural:

The word comes from Greek, so chiasmae would be confusing a Greek root and a Latin plural form, but stranger things have occurred in English. I think Sam Bray had it right: find a way to duck the issue.

File this under “conversations that seldom actually occur” — which is, of course, the joke.

A Moment of Truth

billr sends this in: “Looks like the clock is at 12:25, although maybe it’s 5:00. That doesn’t mean anything to me either way.”

If it’s 5:00 p.m., that’s an iconic end to the 9 to 5 workday. But while you may do a certain amount of lying while working in corporate America [“Your call is important to us. Please stay on the line and a representative will be with you shortly.” or “You’re the first customer who’s ever complained about that.”] after 5 you’re off the clock.

All a matter of perspective.

You won’t believe #4!

Boise Ed sends this one in: “The background is that Florence is a dog who was uplifted to human-level intelligence with walking and talking capability. She now interacts with people pretty much like any other human of a different origin. I thought the “two left feet” line was delightful.”

Mitch4 sends in this stinker: “This should really lead into another classic groaner:
You rip-pa deese?
You mend-a deese!”

Thanks to Mitch4 for sending this in: “guess it’s not strictly speaking puns, but certainly some kind of word-play. And it did take me a couple panels to see that there was some rule-following going on.”
