Scroll to bottom Creator Topic November 5, 2007 at 2:02 am #1996 pfmParticipant I came across (no pun intended) this page which includes the following line – And the former Hollyoaks star, 22, hopes her 34F curves will turn Myleene Klass?s D-cups into a distant mammary. and it made me think, ‘why are we here, what is our purpose in life and our place in the universe? Do we really deserve our existence as sentient beings? Let’s just end it all now, shall we?’ No it didn’t actually, it made me think the word ‘mammary’ is quite funny, isn’t it? Ah, you’ve got to love the world. Here’s a couple of puns – – A boy swallowed some coins and was taken to hospital. When his grandmother called to ask how he was a nurse said ?No change yet?. *ba dum tsh* – If you don?t pay your exorcist you get repossessed. – What’s the definition of a will? Come on, it’s a dead giveaway! Apparently, the greatest ever pun is in the Bible, the line ‘Thou art Peter, and on this rock I shall build my church’ is apparently a pun/joke because the name ‘Peter’ is translated from Latin as ‘rock’ or ‘stone’, so it’s essentially a joke (albeit not a very good one) that the whole of the Church is built upon! He he. Why so serious?

So there. Ahem. What were we talking about, again?

November 8, 2007 at 12:37 am #125545 Paul MullerParticipant It was Christmas Eve I was walking to the village church for the late night carol service. As I strolled down the road, I saw old Roger the farmer, stood in a field with a shetland pony. He was caressing it gently with his hands, running them up and down it’s back and mane. “Are you not coming to the carol service Roger?” I called. “Ahh not tonight,” replied the farmer. “But it’ll do you good, a big old sing-along, it clears your chest!” I said. “I know,” replied Roger, “But I’m feeling a little horse at the moment.” November 8, 2007 at 12:59 am #125546 John HoareParticipant This is my favourite thread ever. November 8, 2007 at 1:01 am #125547 PhilParticipant It was Christmas Eve I was walking to the village church for the late night carol service. As I strolled down the road, I saw old Brutus the farmer, stood in a field with his wife. He was stabbing her continuously in both eyes with a big knife. ?Are you not coming to the carol service Brutus?? I called. ?Ahh not tonight,? replied the farmer. ?But it?ll do you good, a big old sing-along, it clears your chest!? I said. ?I know,? replied Brutus, ?But I?m stabbing my wife in the face at the moment.? November 8, 2007 at 1:09 am #125548 John HoareParticipant THIS IS MY FAVOURITE THREAD EVER. November 8, 2007 at 1:35 am #125550 Ian SymesKeymaster I knew this kid at school was really into tractors. He was completely obsessed with them, to the extent that his father had to intervene. He said “son, I’m worried about you and your tractor fascination. It’s just not normal. You need to give it up. Tell you what, if you can make it through til the end of the week without reading your tractor magazines, or watching your tractor videos, I’ll take you to McDonalds for your tea on Friday.” And so, the kid duly agreed. It was tough, but he made it through to the end of the week without any sort of tractor activities at all. His father kept his end of the bargain, and took him to McDonalds. On the way there, the son told the dad that he’d seen what a fool he’d been, and that he now thought that tractors were rubbish. He had absolutely no interest in tractors any more. When they got to the counter to give their order, the fire alarm went off. There was a fire in the kitchen! With complete calm and composure, the boy walked into the kitchen, sucked all the flames and smoke up through his mouth, walked over to the door, and blew it all out safely in to the open air. The McDonalds staff were shocked, but delighted. As they offered the pair a free meal, the restaurant manager asked the father exactly how the boy did it. “It’s all right,” said the dad, “he’s an ex-tractor fan.” November 8, 2007 at 1:44 am #125551 AndrewParticipant I read the first line and the punchline. It seemed quicker. November 8, 2007 at 10:42 am #125555 Arlene Rimmer BSc SScParticipant John, if you’re a fan of puns, I suspect you’d really like the works of the Marx Brothers (if you don’t already).

November 8, 2007 at 2:34 pm #125562 Jonathan CappsKeymaster He is serious. And, funnily enough, he IS called Shirley. Ian is just his stage name.

Wow. Much more vulgar, but I’d say it’s probably only about 10% as funny. It was a change for the best. November 9, 2007 at 9:55 am #125580 Seb PatrickKeymaster After Quasimodo’s death, the bishop of the Cathedral of Notre Dame sent word through the streets of Paris that a new bell ringer was needed. The bishop decided that he would conduct the interviews personally and went up into the belfry to begin the screening process. After observing several applicants demonstrate their skills, he had decided to call it a day. Just then, an armless man approached him and announced that he was there to apply for the bell ringer’s job. The bishop was incredulous. “You have no arms!”. “No matter,” said the man. “Observe!” And he began striking the bells with his face, producing a beautiful melody on the carillon. The bishop listened in astonishment; convinced that he had found a replacement for Quasimodo. But suddenly, rushing forward to strike a bell, the armless man tripped and plunged headlong out of the belfry window to his death in the street below. The stunned bishop rushed to his side. When he reached the street, a crowd had gathered around the fallen figure, drawn by the beautiful music they had heard only moments before. As they silently parted to let the bishop through, one of them asked, “Bishop, who was this man?”. “I don’t know his name,” the bishop sadly replied, “but his face rings a bell.” The following day, despite the sadness that weighed heavily on his heart due to the unfortunate death of the armless campanologist, the bishop continued his interviews for the bell ringer of Notre Dame. The first man to approach him said, “Your Excellency, I am the brother of the poor armless wretch that fell to his death from this very belfry yesterday. I pray that you honor his life by allowing me to replace him in this duty.”. The bishop agreed to give the man an audition, and, as the armlessmman’s brother stooped to pick up a mallet to strike the first bell, he groaned, clutched at his chest, twirled around, and died on the spot. Two monks, hearing the bishop’s cries of grief at this second tragedy, rushed up the stairs to his side. “What has happened? Who is this man?” the first monk asked breathlessly. “I don’t know his name,” sighed the distraught bishop, “but…. he’s a dead ringer for his brother.” November 9, 2007 at 3:07 pm #125596 AndrewParticipant Again, reading just the first and last lines allows one to get the gist without wasting a lot of time ‘reading’… November 9, 2007 at 3:36 pm #125598 AnonymousGuest Hahaha! I did exactly the same thing but also spotted a punchline in the middle.
