Loafer Puns

On June 3, I came across this punny meme on Facebook:

I reposted it and was inspired the next day to post this pun:
Employment opportunity for loafers at bread factory.

That post led to a long stream of daily posts of bread-related puns. These puns are listed here, not chronologically (i.e., not in the order in which they appeared) but thematically. I will spare you, however, the many punny comments I received from Facebook friends in response to these posts.

“Loaf” puns, of course, were the focus from the very beginning:

I later repeated as “Working at the bread factory is a labor of loaf.” I didn’t intend the repeat. I’d forgotten that I’d used that one already, but it was probably worth repeating, and I doubt anyone notice.

The word “bread” is an obvious source for puns:
