Every October, skeletons come out of storage and suddenly everyone is a pun person.
Plastic skeletons on porches. Skeleton earrings. Skeleton mugs. Skeleton everything. And somewhere in all of it, someone is going to say something punny about bones and the whole group is going to groan and love it. It happens every single year without fail.
But honestly? Skeleton puns work in July too. Good puns do not wait for a season.
Bone to Be Wild About These
Caption your skeleton decor before it goes up and after it comes down.
Send one to whoever decorated their entire house in skeletons and is not even slightly embarrassed about it.
Write one inside a Halloween card that is actually going to get read instead of sitting on a counter. Use one as an icebreaker at a costume party when you are running out of things to say to a stranger dressed as a vampire.
