Thursday Fun

Here's something that my friend Orin posted on our Oddwalk Oddblog a few weeks ago. It just a little bit of fun:

10 puns

1. Two vultures board an airplane; each is carrying two dead raccoons.The stewardess looks at them and says, "I'm sorry,gentlemen, only one carrion allowed per passenger."

2. Two boll weevils grew up in the deep South. One went to Hollywood and became a famous actor. The other stayed behind in the cotton fields and never amounted to much. The second one, naturally, became known as the lesser of two weevils.

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

4. A three-legged dog walks into a saloon in the Old West. He slides up to the bar and announces: "I'm looking for the man who shot my paw."

5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a rootcanal? He wanted to 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 toa 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. These 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 beback if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that Hugh, and 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 alsoate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him ... A super callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

10. The folks at the San Diego zoo heard about some immortal dolphins down in the Amazon, so they sent a guy down to bring some back for the zoo.After a difficult trip, he was able to find them, and brought them back. But soon after they got back to San Diego, they started to die. The zoo sent a team down to the Amazon, and determined that some enzymes in the feces of Mynah birds, which dropped into the water, was what kept the porpoises alive. So the team went hunting for some of the Mynah birds to bring back to the zoo. Meanwhile, up in San Diego, a lion had escaped from the state-run zoo, and was having a grand old time gallivanting around town, terrorizing everyone. He eventually got tired, and lay down to take a nap - right in front of the San Diego zoo entrance.The team lead got back from the Amazon with the Mynah birds, and had to step over the lion in order to get into the zoo. He was immediately arrested for transporting mynahs over state lions for immortal porpoises.
