Richard is off on a week of mandated vacation.

He's only allowed to be a guest in the bar.

Being that the shortest path between two puns is......(drum roll, please)

A Straight line


(You can stop groaning now)

And there are 13 straight lines in the flag, it's going to be a punny Fourth.

Don't care if they're canned or original.

The menu? A clambake, of course, and being that it's Thursdays, I can ACTUALLY HAVE LOBSTAH!@

The DOTD is simple, Sam Adams. Could be John Adams, but that would be a short shot.

Can't have a Thomas Jefferson, that'd be too long a draft.

On that note, PUN AWAY!
