I said, he said

.

I did it! I went trekking in the mountains. I couldn’t wait to tell my friends all about it. I arranged to meet them in the pub.

“It was quite tiring but so worth the effort”, I said.

“Of course it was”, said Colin, “because you don’t everest!”

I politely laughed then carried on. ”It was very quiet, I hardly heard a sound. As I walked through a valley I couldn’t resist having a quick yodel, you should have heard it echo!”

“How do mountains hear?” asked Colin, “with mountaineers!”

“I smiled then continued, ”I spent my nights in a little tent. One morning I awoke to find an owl sitting on a nearby rock, I really wasn’t expecting that1”

“It probably spent its nights in a hootel”, quipped Colin. 

“Why do you keep butting in with silly jokes?”, I said.

“Because mountains are hill areas!”, he replied.

I was becoming extremely frustrated. “You are like a volcano”, I told him.

“Why?”, he asked.

”Because you keep interrupting”.

He was the only one of us that didn’t laugh!

    😂 Oh this reminds me of a good friend of ours, he is so quick with the quip jokes, and then I can never remember them – you wound them into this prompt so well 💞Suzanne

      Thanks so much Suzanne! Somehow, puns seem to remain in my mind, but I keep a note of my favourites just in case!
