Another Nobel Effort

This was posted by Harry Farkas on alt.humor.puns.


Profesor Miller’s colleague, Professor Gonnen Dunnit of the physics
department, has spent a lifetime pursuing the as-of-yet unreachable goal of
creating cold fusion in the lab. In his latest effort, he used molecules
from vegetables to trigger the process on the atomic level.

During one attempt, it seemed that Professor Dunnit actually achieved his
goal – the process resulted in a spherical burst of energy. The professor
wrote it up and submitted … Read the rest...

Law in China

This is from duh me on alt.humor.puns. The author is unknown.


Back in one of the old Chinese dynasties the towns had gongs that would be rung every two hours: At 8am once, 10am twice, noon thrice, 2pm four times, etc.

The lawyers of the day would stretch out the trials as much they could to make more money.

The judges became extremely bored with the status quo and went to the emperor, getting a proclamation that all trials would … Read the rest...

Flat Tire

From Logan (aka Logan Tygart) [sltygar@adelphia.net], this was published on alt.humor.puns and the groaners listserv.


Once, while driving around in my pickup with my pet donkey in the back, I discovered I had a flat tire. I got out and had the donkey stick its head under the bumper and lift the truck.

A passing farmer asked, “Hey, that’s a pretty clever trick. How did you teach your donkey to lift the truck?”

I replied, “Its a simple matter of … Read the rest...

“411”

This is by Alan Hunter [alan@thsresources.com]. It was published on alt.humor.puns.


There once was a man who just went by the nickname “411”. He had access to all the best narcotics and anesthetics. He would go around the town with a hypodermic needle, searching out pay phones. Upon finding ones that are dilapidated and in need of some serious help, he would inject the cord on the receiver with Cocaine, novocaine, lidocaine, michaelcaine, or whatever. One day, as he was … Read the rest...

You Religious Nuts – Cut it out, NOW!

This is by Glenn Gardner [steed@netcom.ca]. It was published on alt.humor.puns and is posted here with permission.


I saw some strange goings on in the city today. A group of sterile monks in white robes were circling a large urn containing flowers, chanting, raising their hands, bowing to the urn, and performing a kind of ritual on one young member of the group. It appeared to be some sort of vase sect to me.

I received a lovely plaque with my personal monogram engraved on it. I wanted to display it in the garden, held by a small porcelain figurine. I was unable to find one that struck my fancy, but my flamboyant neighbor agreed to stand around holding the monogram, provided I would dress him up in a flashy evening gown.

Refried Beans (A Bit Shaggy)

This is from Jim E. “Jimmy” Snibbler [me@my.forest] on alt.humor.puns.


I think that my Mexican surfing friend takes a special, high energy food when surfing. They are kidney beans. They give him the tremendous, sustained energy that is required to breach an especially treacherous outcropping of coral near his favorite spot. I think he does this almost every day; he’s always raving about his mother’s reef ride beans.… Read the rest...

They Just Bug Me

This little pearl is from David Reihmer [simwah@mindspring.com]. He published it on alt.humor.puns. It was also published on the groaners listserv.


My friend started hating people who collect insects. He’s a great guy, so I decided to follow his beliefs about this, even though I didn’t really understand them. Some others have joined in, too.

We don’t know why we hate people who collect insects, or why we blindly follow him, but we just consider him our leader. Maybe we’re … Read the rest...

Out here near Hollywoodland, they’re starting to make a fuss over the beautiful lady rapper with the long blond hair. One of her trademarks is the way she works puns into her lyrics.

Poor Kitty

You know that a male cat is called a Tom, and a female is a Queen, right? Well, I was at the vet’s the other day with my cat Rosie, and a cat named Odie was brought in on an emergency basis with a stomach problem. Seems she had been inadvertently fed some of her owner’s sandwich, one of those new flat bread pita wraps everyone is so fond of these days. Her owner was some … Read the rest...

Retirement

From rosecatt@webtv.net on alt.humor.puns


Last weekend I visited Grandpa at the retirement center. Pretty nice place, all the amenities, including tennis and golf. Grandpa and I sat on a bench watching some of the residents tee off. One guy in particular caught my attention – he seemed too young to be part of the group.

When I remarked on this to Grandpa he said “Oh, that liar! He is really only 45, but he faked his application, got in here … Read the rest...

A few years ago in my back garden there was this ant hill, where all the wood ants lived.
