An old chestnut in honor of the [holiday](http://www.talklikeapirate.com/): A pirate walks into a bar and orders a grog. When the bartender serves the drink, he notices what looks like a tiny ship’s wheel poking up out of the pirate’s trousers. The bartender says, “Say, do you know there’s a ship’s wheel in your pants?” The pirate replies: “Aye, it’s drivin’ me nuts!” ---

I know it’s a whoosh, but I can’t help myself. Babies usually aren’t born with teeth. The teeth come a little later. I am wearing inherited athletic shoes, though, if that is of interest. And I once intered multiple puns into a pun contest. I thought that if I sent in ten, at least one of them would win, but no pun in ten did. ---

One day Roy Rogers bought a brand-new pair of cowboy boots. Really expensive ones; they cost $800. He decided to wear them while riding Trigger. Well, the boots got caked with mud. Roy decided he’d leave the boots outside overnight so the mud would dry, and he could just knock the dried mud off in the morning. Well, during the night a mountain lion came down and, smelling the new leather, started chewing on the boots. Really mauled them. The next morning, Roy was vey upset. He decided he would track down the mountain lion and shoot it. He tracked and tracked, and finally found the culprit. He pulled out his six-gun and killed the animal. He put the mountain lion behind his saddle and headed home with his trophy. Seeing Roy ride up, Dale Evans called out to him… [spoiler]“Pardon me Roy, is that the cat that chewed the new shoes?” (I hope there are some Glen Miller fans in here…) [/spoiler] ---

Oh, what the heck. Here’s a few more: How can you tell if an elephant’s been in your refrigerator? Footprints in the peanut butter. How can you tell if two elephants are in your refrigerator? Two sets of footprints, side by side. How many giraffes will fit in the refrigerator? None. There are too many elephants in there. How do you get an elephant into a Volkswagen? Open door, insert elephant, shut door. How do you get four elephants into a Volkswagen? Two in the front, two in the back. How can you tell if an elephant is visiting your house? There’s a Volkswagen in your driveway with 3 elephants in it. :dubious: My apologies for all the above. ---

A nurse walks up to a doctor and asks him to sign a form. The doictor reaches behind his ear and pulls out a thermometer.
