Competition: ComPUNction for Puns 4 - It's All For Pun

Finished
ComPUNction for Puns 4 - It's All For Pun

On three previous occasions, the last being over a year ago (dang, time flies) the Brotherhood's greatest puntenders have done battle for honor, glory, and the groans of their enemies. It’s been far far too long since the last battle of the puns. About time for a puntest, don’t you think?

Below you will be given a number of topics on which you will craft your best (worst?) and most groan inducing pun. While I'm not going to set a firm word limit, I will remind you all that brevity is the soul of wit. Each pun will be scored on a 1-10 scale based on humor, originality (very important) and groan factor and the highest overall scores will win (in the case of a tie, the highest and lowest pun scores will be dropped). Good luck!

Pun Topics -

  1. Home Improvement
  2. Philosophers (real or fictional, yes, Jedi Masters count )
  3. Great Jedi War XII (going very broad on this category)
  4. Star Wars Planets/Stars
  5. Herbs/Spices
  6. Anything DB/Star Wars/etc. related

1. A few roofing tiles tore off during a storm the other day. I go to the store and see they only sell them in bulk, so I ask the clearly drunk store associate. He slurs back, " Shorry shir, we don't have any shingles."
2. A good buddy of mine has been going on and on constantly about human rights and utopian societies. He's becoming a real Paine.
3. Apparently the Field Commander of Capital Enterprises has gotten involved with the annual football team. Don't worry, she's not playing, she's the Ghafa.
4. Another friend was so obsessed with Sand Person rights she got a Tattooine her mouth of a tribe on the dunes.
5. “My wife is so impatient.” he sighed as he heard her honk the horn outside. “We still have thyme to spare.”
6. I heard Nickelodeon is in a legal battle with the Avatar: The Last Airbender crew. They've initiated a Korriban in response.

Home Improvement - I had an issue with my roof but the directions for the repair were *over my head*.

Philosophers (real or fictional, yes, Jedi Masters count ) - I was talking with a smart, pretty woman about Karl Marx the other day but she stopped me because she wanted to keep our relationship *Platonic*.

Great Jedi War XII (going very broad on this category) - It is tough to have a conversation with the cyborgs in the Collective because they just *drone* on and one.

Star Wars Planets/Stars - When I didn't make it to Alderaan before it was destroyed I was *all broken up* about it for weeks.

Herbs/Spices - My friend Rosemary wanted to throw some Mint in her coffee but she ran out of Thyme.

Anything DB/Star Wars/etc. related - Darth Pravus keeps trying to get rid of the Jedi but they just keep *returning*.

2. I was just thinking after a couple hundred years of sitting on the Council, I guess you could say YODA man.
3. I don't know, after viewing the COLLECTIVE whole, how well the War SITHs with me.
4. The only issue with training in a swamp, is the days. DAGOBAH so slowly.

I'd like to HAMMER home this point
Even if a lot of it is NICTHZE humour
Perhaps we could pool our COLLECTIVE wisdom
I just hope that you won't DESPAYRE
Or be too TARROGON-T to notice
That I-nahj have a gift for this
