i've been jones-ed after!

i may have been told most recently that someone's been jonesing for me. very generally, i coulda told you what that meant, but now i know just how much that meant/means? ...according to the urban dictionary, anyway:

1. to have a strong need, desire, or craving for something. see also: jones (desire for something that may be sought irrespective of the consequences...)
ex: sheeeit beeeitch after smokin' dat weed i'm jonesing for some grub! shaniqua is mad jonesing for rasheed, dat bitch follow him around everywhere.
2. craving; wanting
ex: i'm jonesing for some sushi.

3. the act of needing something badly. usually related to chemical dependency.
ex: i've been jonesing for a joint all day.

let's summarize! i've been compared to sushi & drugs (both Highly addictive (and scrumptiously yummy!?!)) AND needed/wanted at most any cost...

so, am i flattered?
hellz yeah :)
does that pic indicate a joneser? probably not quite... -it'll be my lil spin (assumption) that that's what it Must mean.

YOU describe a "pun" - tough, huh?

i was having lunch at the restaurant i used to work at and it's one of these open kitchen type'a places. i sat at the counter overlooking the expo/kitchen area to chat it up with the ol co-workers. like most of the other restaurants, many of the kitchen staff are foreigners of one variety or another. this place employs mostly ecuadorians, one of whom this story is about.
he's here to stay for a while, taking college courses and trying to learn the nuances of the f'd up language that we all know and love, english! the particular topic of today's lesson? the pun.
go ahead - try to describe... well, it's when you say a word that fits the context of what you just said in a different (often hilarious, sometimes really bad) way. needless to say, he didn't get it. we need an example. who's got one off hand? these pun things are nearly impossible to describe and way difficult to throw out on command. if you ever need a pun on the fly, here's what i said & here you go:
"so this guy's arrested for standing up in church and exposing himself. guy's now in court and my friend - the judge's law clerk - is listening to the attorney describe the incident and defend guy. clerk thinks to himself and later expresses to me 'i wish i had the balls to do that.'"
a pun.
