Farmsister made a batch of muffins. Not all of the batter fit in the tin. “I guess I overfilled these,” she said, and got out a little pie pan to spoon the excess batter into, instead.
Her husband looked down. “Yeah,” he said, “that’s not so much a tin as an eleven,” and then looked very pleased with himself.
“That only works in your accent,” I said. (He’s a Midwestern native but lived in South Carolina for a long time, and so his e’s and his i’s are identical. it doesn’t matter except when he’s trying to ask for a pen and keeps getting handed pins.)
“If you don’t bother with all your vowels your world of puns really opens up,” he said.
