My last two ObJokes (ObPuns?) inclusions were lists of puns on a topic.
I found these on a great puns-specific site, via Google:
& more, on avocados, just because I love an avocado shake, or just a scooped  out one for breakfast; my wife likes growing them into 2' tall trees then  giving them away; ditto for lemons & oranges. . . which all grow surprisingly  well up here in Canada, if you're careful in tending them!
Now we're growing Carolina Reaper peppers (hottest in the world, because my son wants o try one!); peppers tis hot, I don't see as food--more for a critter  deterrent to keep rats, skunks, &, stray pets, & raccoons out of our backyard.
Keeps mice out of the house, too! Boil a couple hot peppers (currently hottest  I have available are Habanero & Ghost) then pour the resulting juice into a  spray bottle & soak tops & bottoms of fences & all along the base of the house. Re-apply after every rainstorm & voila! No more pests, except the damned human  kind (neighbourhood kids who are as opportunistically larcenous as I was at  their ages! Grrr); my wife won't let me run prison quality razor wire across  the fence, & I suppose the city wouldn't either. . .  /sigh/. . .
