Hard To Catch ...

For this week's Sunday Challenge, which has the theme of visual puns.

Essentially a visual pun is an image that depicts objects, or the arrangement of objects, in such a way that the names of the objects, or their arrangement suggests a play on words.

So a shot of flies on top of a block of butter might be used to convey the phrase butterflies, which is often used to describe that queasy feeling you get in your stomach when you're very nervous about something. Or another example might be a worm crawling out of or across an old book to represent the phrase bookworm used to describe an avid reader.

So, for English speakers at least, an easy topic and one that saw loads of ideas come into my head, but not so easy to capture if you can't find suitable props and that was certainly the problem for me.

In the end, I came up with this image to represent the phrase screwball,which is often used to describe someone or something that is crazy or wacky.

Can't let this one go without also taking the opportunity to add it into the Sight & Sound group ... along with Bobby Vee's "Rubber Ball" of course:
