2354 - Pun raccoon

I may have found that last of the good puns from the pun raccoon for awhile....























And then google chrome said I spelled 'awhile' wrong. I always thought it was one word. Seems it's not sometimes. What times? Well see if you can remember this bs...

When “awhile” is spelled as a single word, it is an adverb meaning “for a time” (“stay awhile”); but when “while” is the object of a prepositional phrase, like “Lend me your monkey wrench for a while” the “while” must be separated from the “a.” (But if the preposition “for” were lacking in this sentence, “awhile” could be used in this way: “Lend me your monkey wrench awhile.”)

It's a delight to see the pun raccoon again! Google Chrome has its own way of spwlling.

Puns are universally enjoyed, even by people who won't admit that they do.
