One of my friends forwarded this to me… not sure how she found it cause it’s from around my time… before instant messaging and e-mail, we had VAX!

The following slightly paraphrased conversation took place on
the Haverford College vax this semester. The posters are:
Steve Anderson
Charlie Bonnell
Jordan Chodorow
Jenny Epel
Ian Fraser
Kate Martin
Eva Milstein
Phil Sugar
Alex Werner

AW: If you’re talking about the people who make the cheese, would you say
they make cheese or manufacture it or grow it or what? And how about
milk? You can sort of say someone produces cheese but if you say
someone produces milk it sounds like they’re lactating
JC: produce cheese because people are involved in it.
there is no word to correctly describe the human’s role in making milk,
because there is none.
SA: (I’m being overcome by a terrible urge to “milk” this topic for all the
puns it’s worth.)
EM: how cheesy.
AW: .5 was really la creme de la creme, punwise
IF: Shut up before I go insane
AW: I’m dairy, dairy sorry
JC: Excuse me while I go cheese.
I mean, you guys don’t know Jack about puns.
AW: Hey… chill out… let it brie
CB: I’m groaning in my seat
AW: Don’t have a cow!
KM: As Kate groans in her seat
AW: What was wrong with my last one, Kate? Was there something it lact?
SA: No, no, far from it. In fact, it was the cream of the crop.
AW: You make another bad pun like that one, and Iscream
KM: How can I not? It cut me to the Quick…
AW: Kate, just lait off me, ok!
JC: Well, rather than stay here and try to do battle with the pun master,
I’ll simply cow-er before him and then go Moo for a while.
AW: Oh c’mon jordan, I was sure you would stick it out until the butter end!
KM: All these puns are making my stomach churn.
AW: Some of these are good, and some are awful… its about half and half
JE: i can’t think of any puns… quelle fromage!
AW: These milk puns are great, but I’ve got to wean myself away from them
sooner or later
JC: I mean, there’s a real Kraft to these puns.
AW: Get ready for the fastest (and worst) pun in the west:
See? I slipped it right pastyoureyes
JE: I like it.
AW: You liked it? No whey!
JE: Whey!
PS: These are fun but I gotta go. I mozzarella been here for a long time
EM: I’ve been laughing so hard i’ve fallen on my dairyerre. all of these are funny, especially the tail-end ones.
AW: This conversation is starting to go sour
KM: That’s odd… I thought it was udderly charming.
AW: Rondele, people would be shot for making puns like that one!
