Why does nobody mention using a thesaurus backwards for puns?
I was stuck trying to come up with a plumbing related dad joke for my crew last month. Nothing was clicking. Then I grabbed a thesaurus, looked up a random word like 'leak', found its opposite like 'seal', and worked backwards from there. Got a solid one about a 'seal of approval' for a pipe fitting. Has anyone else tried flipping the dictionary like that?

Whoa, wait... you actually used a thesaurus backwards on purpose and it worked? That's wild, I never would've thought to flip it like that.

Did you just try random opposites or did you think through each one?
