Pop the Question With These Hokey Homecoming Puns
In the olden days, when you wanted to ask someone to homecoming you… just asked somebody to homecoming. These days, it ain’t so simple. As countless posts on Facebook and Pinterest demonstrate, a lot of people are “popping the question” by staging elaborate public spectacles, complete with posters, props, and costumes.
You don’t necessarily have to go that far. But at the very least, a good homecoming proposal should feature some clever wordplay – and in this case, puns fit the bill perfectly. The logic is simple: Impress your chosen boy or girl with a cheesy turn of phrase, disarm them with bad humor, and you might just be home free (see what we did there?).
