Oh what pun! — Sewing and more

Here are a couple of puns that will keep you in stiches.

“The sewing girl is never what she seems,” The Granville Sentinel punned on Feb. 28, 1890.

And from the same issue: “Always on top — embroidered bed spreads.”

A few more puns from the same issue:

• “Discovered long ago — Newfoundland.”
• “No one wants to put out a woman who blazes with diamonds.”
• “Cut lasses — Snubbed girls.”
• “Where brokers are washing — in the bull pool.”

Puns from other Granville Sentinel issues:

• “When a brewery is struck by lightening, even the beer hops.” — Aug., 9, 1889.
• “There is music in the air when the bill comes in for an accordion skirt.” — Aug. 2, 1889
• “Anyone might know that our able friend at the Whitehall Times was a baseballist. He heads his vicinity items, ‘Caught on the Fly.” — Aug 2, 1889.
• “A dentist refers to his collection of extracted teeth as gum drops.” — Aug. 16, 1889.
• “Though un-uniformed and without a salary, salt still performs important police duties. It often arrests decay.” — Aug. 30, 1889
• “Unwelcome callers would make good detectives. They are so likely to find people out.” — Sept. 6, 1889
