PUNS
When Jane Austin's heroine worked as a nurse in a gastroenterologist's
office and was assisting during a procedure, the doctor handed her the
rubber nozzle and told her, "Bury 'im in, Emma." (Rich Orwell)
You are stuck with your debt if you can't budge it.
Finishing up our work at a trade show in San Diego, my co-worker
Maureen and I decided to go sightseeing across the border in Tijuana,
Mexico. While there, we went shopping and bought a few pieces of clay
kitchenware. As we crossed back into the United States, a customs
official asked if we had anything of value to report. "Not really,"
Maureen replied, digging in her bag for the bean crock she had
purchased. Everyone around us froze as she continued, "I only bought a
little pot."
I was going to start an Apathy Anonymous group, but why bother.
I had been teaching my seventh-graders about World War II and a test
question was, "What was the largest amphibious assault of all time?"
Expecting to see "the D-Day invasion" as the answer, I found, instead,
on one paper, "Moses and the plague of frogs."
I've got great health insurance. If I get knocked on the head they pay
me a lump sum.
I heard my neighbor's wife compare her husband to Jesus and asked her
what she meant. She said they were both familiar with loafing and
fishing. (Harry Farkas)
My neighbor, an internist named Roy, was arrested for stalking his ex-
wife. He couldn't liver alone. I wouldn't kidney you about it. He
barged into the house while she was cooking and attacked her with a
skillet; the pancreased her skull. It left a dent the thighs of a
small crater. The police had a heart time finding the ex-husband, and
they told me if I saw his car I should colon them to come arrest him
immediately. I made that gall at 10 last night when I saw him. I
called out "Thyroid!" like nothing was wrong, but then I called the
cops. Soon they were necks door with a squad car. He's gonna be in
jail for a lung time. (Cynthia MacGregor)
The sign on the nudist camp said, "Clothed 'til May." (Mike Bull)
I was surprised at how appropriately named 'endoscopy' is, since it
involves a two-way stretch. Every time I have to have one I feel
gutted. I am sure the process is easier for joggers, since part of the
preparation involves the runs. They do it without much hazard
nowadays; few casualties means they don't have to barium any more. In
Australia those getting such bad news were known as grave diggers.
(Joseph Harris)
OTHER HUMOR
A collector of rare books ran into an acquaintance who told him he had
just thrown away an old Bible that he found in a dusty, old box. He
happened to mention that Guten-somebody-or-other had printed it. "Not
Gutenberg?" gasped the collector. "Yes, that was it!" "You goober!
You've thrown away one of the first books ever printed. A copy
recently sold at auction for half a million dollars!" "Oh, I don't
think this book would have been worth anything close to that much,"
replied the man. "It was scribbled all over in the margins by some
clown named Martin Luther."
The economy is so bad Wall Street had to sell advertising rights to
its street name. It's now Wal-Mart Street.
My wife has not been speaking to me for three days. On Friday, we went
to the shopping mall, and passed a display of bathing suits. She said,
"It's been at least ten years since I wore a bathing suit. What do you
think? Should I get a bikini or an all-in-one?" Unthinkingly, I
replied, "Better get a bikini. You'd never get into an all-in-one."
A statistician is someone who is good with numbers, but lacks the
personality to be an accountant.
One morning as Professor Jones was leaving for the university his wife
told her absent-minded husband, "Don't forget we are moving today. If
you come to this house this afternoon it will be empty." Predictably
he didn't remember until he found the house vacated that afternoon. He
mumbled to himself, "And where was it we were moving to?" He went out
in front of the house and asked a little girl, "Did you see a moving
van here today, little girl?" "Yes," she replied. "Would you know
which way it went?" She looked up at him and said, "Yes, Daddy, I'll
show you."
By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you
get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. (Socrates)
