Being a newbie, can't say there's a lot of catagories read thru yet... cor you'd think wuz a buncha 'dicted smithies here...

So pardon if this obviously delicious subject has been ridden to death somewhere else and im thumping dry hide. Or perhaps i should have investigated the Limricks & Puns aisle. Ah weel hiere i am now. And what has caught my funnybone now are these perfectly suited Signs for business shops or events or items...

In a shoe store : "Come in and have a fit"

In a brassier shop: "We fix flats"

In a music store window: "Gone Chopin. Bach inna minuete."

On a fortune teller's door: "Medium prices"

In a Catholic Church: "Litany candles?"

At Batteries Plus : "Wanna start something?"

On a junkyard fence: "Edifice Wrecks"

more? or is there a list already assembled?

Epi: Thank you for those

Speaking of categories, yo'll find Q&A and Potpourri to be by far the most active

What does it mean, "thumping dry hide"; did you make it up and if not how long has it been around

There are puns and other silly stuph in Wordplay under several headings. Here's some that are posted elsewhere - I think...

Mufler shop: Our business is exhausting

Hatchery: Cheepers by the dozen

Massage parlor run by Hamlet: Ay, there's the rub!

Office of a moyle: I work for tips.

Generator sales company: Open a charge account

Boat builder's shop: Out to launch. Yawl come back at 1:00 and we'll have yachts of fun!

Auto body shop: May I have the next dents?

I was attempting at being original. Alluding to the old saw 'beating a dead horse' when a subject has been over-explored or reiterated upon. The first half of my inquiry had asked if 'sign-puns' was already ridden to death. The progressive visualization is the dehydrated, mummified carcass one sees on a south-o-the-border drive. Hense, dry hide. Sigh, but once allusion needs to be explained, it loses its original fizz. So i guess i didn't do it right.
