Pun

[Twofootputt]

Back in the 1800s, the Tates Watch Co. of Massachusetts wanted to produce other products and, since it already made the cases for pocket watches, decided to market compasses for the pioneers traveling west. It turned out that although the watches were of the finest quality; the compasses were so bad that people often ended up in Canada or Mexico rather than California. This, of course, is the origin of the expression, "He who has a Tates is lost!"

That's OK for a pun.

How on earth can you guys not get it?

That being said, even though I chuckled(I'm a real sucker for puns, the worse the better) you are probably better off not getting it.

(1) Resistance may be futile, but capacitance has potential.

(2) I took a beer bottle to the recycling center, but they wouldn't take it.
They said: "This is the pint of no return."

(3) I once knew a bailiff who moonlighted as a bartender.
He served subpoena coladas.

(4) He made money sending thousands of junk emails to people, but one day he made a mistake and sent a whole load of them to a famous Hollywood actress. She was so angry that she had him beaten up, and that's how he came to be known as The Star Mangled Spammer.

(5) I was going to procrastinate. But I decided to leave it till later.
