I usually despise the long-winded, ridiculously-detailed ‘puns’ that are obviously written; I much prefer the brief off-the-cuff pun that arises out of spontaneity and wit.
With that said, however, here is one that I allow as an exception:
A zookeeper had two gnus. He needed just one. He offered one gnu to a fellow zookeeper, who gladly accepted. However, the one cage he had available was under construction and not yet ready for an animal. Zookeeper #1 says that would be OK, so the gnu is put in an unfinished cage.
The next morning, #2 calls #1 and says, 'you won’t believe this. When I checked on my new gnu, he had opened a case of tile that was in the corner and laid out a beautifully-tiled floor for his cage. ‘Oh, I believe it all right,’ said the first zookeeper, 'he’s a typical gnu and tiler too."
Inigo and I were watching Dirty Jobs last night on Discovery Channel.
The episode featured a camel dairy. One of the things the owners mentioned was that there were too many male camels to the female camels. So I said to Inigo, when the male camels fight over the female camels, it becomes a drama dairy.
A clown moved into an apartment complex for circus performers. It was a beautiful apartment, except it was missing an ironing board. The clown called up the superintendent to complain.
The superintendent says “You have to use the windowsill. It’s in your rental agreement…”
Three indian maidens were pregnant. The chief put each in a separate teepee. One sat on a deer skin, the next on a buffalo hide, the third was on a hippopotamus hide. The first 2 had single children . The 3rd had twins.
The chief observed" the squaw on the hippopotamus hide is equal the sum of the squaws on other two hides. ’
The Chessmasters’ convention was in town last winter at the downtown hotel. In the evening, they’d all hang out in the lobby and talk about the games they’d won. They were chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.
Spain **really **had a hard time of it yesterday at the World Cup Final.
One might say they had to go down their very own Villa de la Roja…
Just in case the context is needed:David Villa (pronounced “via”) is Spain’s star player; the Spanish national team is known as “La Furia Roja” (Red Fury)
After an earthquake, a farmer notices all his cows have fallen down, but all the bulls are still standing. Not thinking, he yells at the bulls ‘hey, how come all the cows fell down and you didn’t?’
The nearest bull replies ‘we bulls wobble but we don’t fall down.’
