Laughter, the Best Medicine: Nothing Like a Good Pun!
Edited on Sat Jun-17-06 12:07 PM by Radio_Lady
Fresh from an acquaintance in Los Angeles, CA. (No guarantee you haven't seen these before.):



1.Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married.
The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.

2. A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says,
"I'll serve you, but don't start anything."

3.Two peanuts walk into a bar, and one was a salted.

4. A dyslexic man walks into a bra.

5. A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm
and says:" A beer please, and one for the road."

6.Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other:
"Does this taste funny to you?"

7."Doc, I can't stop singing 'The Green, Green Grass of Home.'"
"That sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome."
"Is it common?" Well, "It's Not Unusual."

8.Two cows are standing next to each other in a field.
Daisy says to Dolly, "I was artificially inseminated this morning."
"I don't believe you," says Dolly. "It's true, no bull!" exclaims Daisy.

9.An invisible man marries an invisible woman.
The kids were nothing to look at either.

10. Deja Moo: The feeling that you've heard this bull before.

11. I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't
find any.

12. A man woke up in a hospital after a serious accident.
He shouted, "Doctor, doctor, I can't feel my legs!"
The doctor replied, "I know you can't - I've cut off your arms!"

13. I went to a seafood disco last week...and pulled a mussel.

14.What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh.

15.Two fish swim into a concrete wall.
The one turns to the other and says, "Dam!".

16.Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly,
so they lit a fire in the craft.
Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that
you can't have your kayak and heat it too.

17. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel
and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament
victories.

After about an hour, the manager came out of the office
and asked them to disperse.
"But why," they asked, as they moved off.
"Because", he said, "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open
foyer."

18. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption.
One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal."
The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan."
Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother.
Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes
she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds,
They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."

19. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time,
which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet.
He also ate very little, which made him rather frail
and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath.
This made him ..(Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good).....
A super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

20.And finally, there was the person who sent twenty different puns to
his friends, with the hope that at least ten of the puns would make them
laugh. No pun in ten did.

1. A researcher...
discovered that if he fed sea birds to dolphins they would not age nor die.

One day, carrying his supplies back to his home, he found a elderly lion lying across his front stoop. Since the animal was old and looked toothless, he decided to step over the cat, upon which he was immediately arrested.

What was the charge?

13. No problem, Random_Australian. Here's the translation:
"Transporting gulls over a staid lion for immortal porpoises"

It's the punny equivalent of:

Transporting GIRLS over a STATE LINE for IMMORAL PURPOSES.

That would be prostitution in the United States. The only additional word might be "UNDERAGE GIRLS" --

Hope that clears it up for you. Have a happy day (night) in Australia!

In peace,

Radio_Lady in Oregon, USA

19. More specifically...
It refers to the federal law known as the Mann Act, which (basically) makes it illegal to transport a female across state boundries for the intent of having sex with them...
(How many honeymooning husbands are technically in violation?)

I've never heard that one before, either.

I'm going to use it. (I bet my smart-alec 12yo will like it, too!)

8. I had to explain some of them to the grandkids, but they're better off
getting the information from me, instead of those "dirty little boys in the schoolyard"!
