Punny Puns

These punny puns were sent to me a while ago and I decided finally to do a page strictly on puns. This is a result of that decision. (I will add a pun occasionally, but there aren't that many new ones.)

Usually a pun has it's basis in a well known saying or phrase and has a "story-like" lead-in to the pun itself. The ones on this page however, are here simply because I liked them (although they so seem to follow the definition).

Puns are also known as "groaners" to many because so many of them elicit a "groan" from the reader because they are so lame. Some of them however are quite clever, even if they elicit a groan.

These first 16 punny puns are supposed to be for "the educated" among us but that doesn't mean they're not "groaners" as well. I hope you like them anyway.

Cheers,

Darry


Here's A New One!

A local farmer switched crops this year to grow marijuana, now that it's legal. However, a flock of Terns landed in his newly planted fields and ate up all the plants! The birds were OK, but there was no Tern left unstoned!


Here Are The Others:

1. King Ozymandias of Assyria was running low on cash after years of war with the Hittites. His last great possession was the Star of the Euphrates, the most valuable diamond in the ancient world. Desperate, he went to Croesus, the pawnbroker, to ask for a loan.

Croesus said, "I'll give you 100,000 dinars for it."

"But I paid a million dinars for it," the King protested. "Don't you know who I am? I am the king!"

Croesus replied, "When you wish to pawn a Star, makes no difference who you are."

2. Evidence has been found that William Tell and his family were avid bowlers. Unfortunately, all the Swiss league records were destroyed in a fire...and so we'll never know for whom the Tells bowled.

3. A man rushed into a busy doctor's office and shouted, "Doctor! I think I'm shrinking!" The doctor calmly responded, "Now, settle down. You'll just have to be a little patient."

4. A marine biologist developed a race of genetically engineered dolphins that could live forever if they were fed a steady diet of seagulls. One day, his supply of the birds ran out so he had to go out and trap some more. On the way back, he spied two lions asleep on the road. Afraid to wake them, he gingerly stepped over them. Immediately, he was arrested and charged with-- transporting gulls across sedate lions for immortal porpoises.

5. Back in the 1800's the Tate's Watch Company of Massachusetts wanted to produce other products, and since they already made the cases for watches, they used them to produce compasses. The new 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 Tate's is lost!"

(Have you had enough punny puns or can you stand some more?)

6. A thief broke into the local police station and stole all the toilets and urinals, leaving no clues. A spokesperson was quoted as saying, "We have absolutely nothing to go on."

7. An Indian chief was feeling very sick, so he summoned the medicine man. After a brief examination, the medicine man took out a long, thin strip of elk rawhide and gave it to the chief, telling him to bite off, chew, and swallow one inch of the leather every day. After a month, the medicine man returned to see how the chief was feeling. The chief shrugged and said, "The thong is ended, but the malady lingers on."

8. A famous Viking explorer returned home from a voyage and found his name missing from the town register. His wife insisted on complaining to the local civic official who apologized profusely saying, "I must have taken Leif off my census."

9. There were three Indian squaws. One slept on a deer skin, one slept on an elk skin, and the third slept on a hippopotamus skin. All three became pregnant. The first two each had a baby boy. The one who slept on the hippopotamus skin had twin boys. This just goes to prove that...the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides.

10. A sceptical anthropologist was cataloguing South American folk remedies with the assistance of a tribal Brujo who indicated that the leaves of a particular fern were a sure cure for any case of constipation. When the anthropologist expressed his doubts, the Brujo looked him in the eye and said, "Let me tell you, with fronds like these, you don't need enemas."

11. Where do lawyers live? In legal pads!

12. Why did the butcher make his sausages with meat at one end and corn meal at the other? Because in hard economic times, it's difficult to make both ends meat!

13. What do dentists like most about amusement parks? Molar coasters!

14. If you're going to attack a circus - you should go straight for the juggler!

15. My hamster died! He fell asleep at the wheel.

16. I'm reading a book on euthanasia - but can't put it down!

17. What do "little people" use to communicate with each other? - Microphones.

A Christmas Pun...

Rudolph the Red:

There was once a great czar in Russia named Rudolph the Red. He stood looking out the windows of his palace one day while his wife, the Czarina Katerina, sat nearby knitting. He turned to her and said, "Look my dear, it has begun to rain!" Without even looking up from her knitting she replied, "It's too cold to rain. It must be sleeting." The Czar shook his head and said, "I am the Czar of all the Russians, and Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear!"

 Irish Punny Puns

Lots of Puns

Two Irishmen walk into a pet shop, they walk over to the bird section and Gerry says to Paddy, 'Dat's dem.' 
The owner comes over and asks if he can help them. 
'Yeah, we'll take four of dem dere little budgies in dat cage up dere,' says Gerry. 
The owner puts the budgies in a cardboard box. 
Paddy and Gerry pay for the birds, leave the shop and get into Gerry's truck to drive to the top of the Connor Pass.  

At the Connor Pass, Gerry looks down at the 1000 foot drop and says, 'Dis looks like a grand place.' 
He takes two birds out of the box, puts one on each shoulder and jumps off the cliff. 
Paddy watches as the budgies fly off and Gerry falls all the way to the bottom, killing himself stone dead. 
Looking down at the remains of his best pal, Paddy shakes his head and says, 'Dis budgie jumping is too dangerous for me!' 

THERE'S MORE... 

Moment's later; Seamus arrives up at Connor Pass. 
He's been to the pet shop too and walks up to the edge of the cliff carrying another cardboard box in one hand and a shotgun in the other. 

'Hi, Paddy, watch dis,' Seamus says. 
He takes a parrot from the box and lets him fly free. 
He then throws himself over the edge of the cliff with the gun. 
Paddy watches as half way down, Seamus takes the gun and shoots the parrot. 
Seamus continues to plummet down and down until he hits the bottom and breaks every bone in his body. 
Paddy shakes his head and says, 'And I'm never trying dat parrotshooting either!'

IT IS NOT OVER YET... 

Paddy is just getting over the shock of losing two friends when Sean appears. 
He's also been to the pet shop and is carrying a cardboard box out of which he pulls a chicken. 
Sean then takes the chicken by its legs and hurls himself off the cliff and disappears down and down until he hits a rock and breaks his spine.

Once more Paddy shakes his head. 

'First dere was Gerry with his budgie jumping, den Seamus parrotshooting...And now Sean and his hengliding!'
