Sorry for my infrequent posts lately, but I have a few deadlines that I'm working on and need to finish.
It's been said that puns are the basest form of humor, but for some reason when I read or hear most puns, I can't help myself from laughing. And who can't use a dose of humor each day?
So, to brighten your Monday, I thought I'd share the rest of the puns sent to me by Barb, a teacher-friend. The first one is dedicated to poets.
* A backward poet writes inverse.
* Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. (This one took a while to sink in.)
* Atheism is a non-prophet organization.
* Two hats were hanging on a hat rack in the hallway. One hat said to the other: "You stay here. I'll go on a head." (Childish humor, but I chuckled.)
* I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me. (Got it!)
* The midget fortune-teller who escaped from prison was a small medium at large. (No offense meant to any vertically-challenged folks.)
* If you jumped off the bridge in Paris, you'd be in Seine.
* Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, 'I've lost my electron.' The other says 'Are you sure?' The first replies, 'Yes, I'm positive.'
And I'm positive this is the last batch of puns--but if you have any you'd like to add, feel free.
Happy Monday!

ReplyDeleteI'll admit it, I love puns. These are funny, especially the one about the atoms. I'll share them with my daughter. At ten, she loves the Aha! moment when she "gets it".
