Freeze

“How did you die?” asked Jelly.

“I got too cold,” sighed Cuttle.

“Your obituary said you died of hyperthermia while trekking across the Antartic with a paint company for charity,” recalled Parrotfish.

“That’s right,” sighed Cuttle. “I needed a second coat.”

  1. I’m not sure if I get this one. Is the pun a double meaning of “coat”, as in a coat to not freeze and coat as in coating something in paint?
    Why is the charity part important? My English seems to fail me on this one 😦

      1. Aha, with a nudge, I do proof-read and I pay for an editor when I publish (as anyone who publishes should).

        Unfortunately, I still type most stuff in WordPress first then copy-paste it to wherever it needs to go. Since the Gutenberg update (#PeterStillHatesGutenberg) every time I correct spelling or grammar with the usual browser plugins, as I do everywhere else on the internet, it just adds code and doesn’t change the word in the visual side of the post.

        So my usual “I don’t mind the odd mistake,” turns into “oh, feck off WordPress, not again.”

        When software’s is as broken as the current WordPress, occasional mistakes will slip by. It’s frustrating when they have announced they won’t even try and make WordPress compatible with the Grammarly plugin.
