Frequently Asked Questions About Giving Birthday Puns
Are birthday puns appropriate for the workplace?
Only if you actively want your coworkers to dislike you during the breakroom cake cutting. HR probably will not fire you for them, but they will definitely judge your character.
How many puns should I write in a birthday card?
Zero is the ideal number for maintaining a healthy relationship. If you must use them, stick to one terrible joke so they only roll their eyes once.
Can I use these puns for a milestone birthday?
Yes, ruining a thirtieth or fiftieth birthday with terrible wordplay is a time-honored tradition. Just prepare yourself for the complete lack of laughter when they read the card aloud.
