🎯 Pun
What time do tennis players wake up?
Ten-ish!
Why This Joke Works
"Ten-ish" sounds exactly like "tennis" when you squint your ears at it — and it's a perfectly casual, approximate time of day. The answer is both a reasonable sleep schedule and a sport name disguised as a vague morning commitment.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Pause after the question, like you're doing mental math, then drop "Ten-ish" with casual certainty — the imprecision sells the pun.
Perfect for:
- •Tennis practice scheduling conversation when someone asks what time to show up

- •When a tennis-obsessed friend is notoriously hard to pin down on timing
