OT....PUNS....really GOOD!

THE ABILITY TO MAKE AND UNDERSTAND PUNS IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF
LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT.

Here are the ten first place winners in the International Pun Contest:

1. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The
stewardess looks at him and says, 'I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion
allowed per passenger. '

2. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and
says 'Dam! '

3. 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.

4. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says 'I've lost my electron. ' The
other says 'Are you sure? ' The first replies 'Yes, I'm positive. '

5. Did you hear about the Buddhist *****fused Novocain during a root
canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.

6. 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. '

7. 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. '

8. A group of friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they
opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked
to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town
thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers  to
close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to
close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart,
the roughest and most vicious thug in town to  'persuade' them to
close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd
be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby
proving that only Hugh can prevent  florist friars.

9. 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 a super calloused fragile
mystic hexed by halitosis.

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

  Thanks!  great start to the day! Chris

Thank you SO much. At this time of year, high school Language Arts teachers really need to laugh. This gave me reason to...big time! nancy

Those were great! 

   Janine thanks for the laugh.  I needed it!  It's been a long week.  

Thank you so much!!! (Eyes watering, belly sore from laughing) Glad to see there are some other Cali pun-lovers out there. My hubby is just baffled that my all time favorite joke is:


Why did the chicken cross the playground? To get to the other slide.


Thanks for the laughs. The Ghandi one...so funny!
