Category: alt.callahans, Puns, Rated G

From Paul DeAnguera.


The unexpected American counter-attack had devastated the British champion. Gasping and bleeding from the ears, the stupefied First Mate shook his head helplessly when urged to retake the stage. “Pull down your union jack, then,” Captain Blight ordered, “And form a line by the starboard rail, prisoners of war!”

“Wait!” called a voice, and a distinguished looking Chinese man in an embroidered red silk robe stepped onto the main hatch cover. It was Wang Mang, able seaman … Read the rest…

*Two Loopholes

From the groaners listserv.


In the late 1800s, not wanting to be outdone by American rodeo, an English chap decided to become a rodeo star. Not having a horse or any cattle, he cast about for some way to perform. His vocation was building outhouses, and he had several samples behind his home. He had also installed a couple of standing gas lamps in his yard. As a start, he decided that lassoing these objects would be good practice. After … Read the rest…

Mitch Friedman sent this to me. For reasons that are not entirely clear, he said this is my kind of material.

A Tall Ship Tale #87: Things Could Be Verse

Category: alt.callahans, Puns, Rated G

The continuation of Paul DeAnguera’s epic.


For a while it looked as if the British champion had won the day. But at length Hugo Phirst staggered up from his circle of Yankee handlers. Waving away any further assistance, he walked unsteadily across the H.M.S. Legume’s main deck to the hatch cover and stepped up onto it to deliver the American reply to the First Mate’s attack:

There was a Beggar in the company
That Geoffrey never spoke of; nor … Read the rest…

The Land That Made Me, Me

Category: Current Events, Lists, Poetry, Puns, Rated G

Posted by Stan Kegel on the groaners listserv.


Long ago and far away, in a land that time forgot,
Before the days of Dylan , or the dawn of Camelot.

We spread … Read the rest…
