Puns.....

Subject: Puns

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

DEVELOPMENT..."

Here are the 10 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 who refused 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 he! r 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 (Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good) 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.
