PUNS:

It is said that the ability to make and understand puns is the highest level of language development.  The ability to make puns that don't make ordinary people shudder transcends the language skills of even the most adept.

Here then, are the 10 first place winners in the International Pun Contest:

1. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons.  The stewardess looks at him and says, "I'm sorry, sir.......only one carrion allowed per passenger."

2. Two fish swim into a concrete wall.  The one turns to the other and says, "Dam!"

3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft.  Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.

4. Two hydrogen atoms meet.  One says, "I've lost my electron."  The other says, "Are you sure?"  The first replies, "Yes, I'm positive."

5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal?  His goal: Transcend dental medication.

6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories.  After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse.  "But why?" they asked, as they moved off.  "Because," he said, "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."

7. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption.  One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal".  The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan."  Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother.  Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal.  Her husband responds, "They're twins!  If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."

8. A group of friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds.  Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair.  He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not.  He went back and begged the friars to close.  They ignored him.  So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close.  Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop.  Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that only Hugh can prevent florist friars.

9. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet.  He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath.  This made him (Oh man, this is so bad, it's good) a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

10. And finally...There was the person who sent ten different puns to friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh.  No pun in ten did.
                            

Customer in restaurant:  "Waitress, what's this fly doing in my soup?!"
Waitress:  "It looks like the back-stroke to me..."

Customer in restaurant:  "Waitress, this coffee tastes like mud!"
Waitress:  "Well, it was only ground yesterday..."

TWO OLD LADIES are sitting on a park bench.  One of them leans over, and whispers quietly to the other:  "Tell me the truth -- is that a wig you're wearing?"   The other lady whispers back quietly "Yes..., to tell you the truth, it is a wig."   Then the first lady leans over, looks the other in the eye, and replies confidentially:  "Well, you sure can't tell!"
                                
A WELL-KNOWN CARDIOLOGIST died and was given an elaborate funeral.  A huge heart covered in flowers stood behind the casket during the service. Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled inside.  The heart then closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful heart forever....

A Rabbi boarded a airplane in Rome, and was surprised when the Pope himself 
sat down in the seat next to him.  They briefly introduced each other, but immediately, 
the Pope began a crossword puzzle.  "This is fantastic," thought the Rabbi, 
who also liked crossword puzzles...  "Perhaps, if the Pope gets stuck, 
he'll ask me for assistance."  
Almost immediately, the Pope turned to the Rabbi and said, 
"Excuse me, Rabbi, but do you know a four letter word referring to a woman 
that ends in the letters u-n-t ?"  
Only one four-letter word came to the Rabbi's mind...  
"Oy vey," thought the Rabbi, "I can't say that to the Pope...  
There must be another word..."  
The Rabbi searched his mind for awhile, then it hit him...  
Turning to the pope, the Rabbi said, "I think the word you're looking for is 'aunt'."  
"Of course," said the Pope... "Do you have an eraser?"

The 4-year old nods his head in approval.  The 6-year old continues, "When we go downstairs for breakfast, I'm gonna say something with hell and you say something with ass."  The 4-year old agrees with enthusiasm.
 
When the mother walks into the kitchen and asks the 6-year old what he wants for breakfast, he replies, "Aw, hell, Mom, I guess I'll have some Cheerios." 
 
WHACK!  He flies out of his chair, tumbles across the kitchen floor, gets up, and runs upstairs crying his eyes out, with his mother in hot pursuit, slapping his rear with every step.  His Mom locks him in his room and shouts, "You can stay there until I let you out!"
 
She then comes back downstairs, looks at the 4-year old and asks with a stern voice, "And what do YOU want for breakfast, young man?" 
 
"I don't know," he blubbers, "but you can bet your fat ass it won't be Cheerios."
                                         
 
A crusty old man walks into the local First Baptist Church and says to the secretary, "I wanna join this damn church."
 
The astonished woman replies, "I beg your pardon, sir.  I must  have misunderstood you.  What did you say?"
 
"What the hell???  Are you deaf!???   Listen up, damn it!!   I said I want to join this damn freakin' church!"
 
"I'm very sorry sir, but that kind of language is not tolerated in this church."
 
The secretary leaves her desk and goes into the pastor's study to inform him of her situation.   The pastor agrees that the secretary does not  have to listen to the visitor's foul language.
 
They both return to her office and the pastor asks the old geezer, "Sir, what seems to be the problem here?"
 
"Damn it, there ain't no problem," the man says.  "I just won $200 million in the freakin' lottery, and for Christ sake, I just wanna join this freakin' church, to give away some of this god-damn money."
 
"I see..." said the pastor, "And this BITCH is giving you a hard time???!!!"

A farmer's donkey fell down into a well.  The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.  Finally he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway, it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.  He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him.  They each grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.

At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly.  Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down.  A few shovel loads later, the farmer looked down the well, and was astonished at what he saw.  As every shovel of dirt hit his back, the donkey did something amazing.  He would shake it off and take a step up.  As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon! , everyone was amazed, as the donkey stepped up and over the edge of the well and trotted off.

 The Moral:  Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt.  The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone.  We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up!  Shake it off and take a step up!

Now for the rest of the story.... The donkey later came back, caught the farmer in the field and kicked the shit out of him.  Then he went over to each of his neighbors' farms and kicked the shit out of them too... for helping.

 The real Moral:  When you try to cover your ass, it always comes back to get you!  


A blind man walks into a little restaurant and sits down. The owner walks up to him and hands him a menu.

"I'm sorry sir, but I am blind and can't read the menu.  Just bring me a fork used by a previous customer.  I'll smell it and order from there."

A little confused, the owner walks over to the dirty dish pile and picks up a greasy fork. He returns to the man's table and hands it to him. The blind man puts the fork to his nose and takes in a deep breath. "Ah, yes, that's what I'll have - meatloaf and mashed potatoes."

"This is unbelievable," the owner says to himself, as he walks towards the kitchen and tells his wife Gladys, the cook, what just happened.

Several days later, the blind man returns, and the owner mistakenly brings him a menu again.

"Sir, remember me? I'm the blind man."

The owner of the restaurant says:  "I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you... I'll go get you a used fork."   The owner retrieves a dirty fork and brings it to the blind man.  After a few deep whiffs, the blind man says:  "That smells great... I'll take the macaroni and cheese with broccoli."

Walking away in disbelief, the owner thinks the blind man is screwing around with him, and figures that the next time the blind man comes in, he's going to test him.

The blind man returns the following week, but this time the owner sees him coming and runs to the kitchen.  He tells his wife, "Gladys, rub this fork on your crotch."  Gladys frowns, but complies and hands the fork to her husband.

As the blind man walks in and sits down, the owner is ready and waiting. "Good afternoon, sir, this time I remembered you, and I have your fork ready for you."

The blind man puts the fork to his nose, sniffs, and says, "Damn! I sure didn't know Gladys worked here!"

                       
A guy walks into a crowded bar with a pet alligator by his side.  He puts the alligator up on the bar. He turns to the astonished patrons, and shouts to the crowd:

"I'll make you a deal. I'll open this alligator's mouth and place my penis inside the gator's mouth. Then the gator will close his mouth for about a minute... Then, he'll open his mouth, and I'll remove my penis, totally unscathed... In return for witnessing this incredible spectacle, each of you will buy me a drink."

The crowd murmured their approval...

The man stood up on the bar, dropped his trousers, and placed his penis inside the alligator's open mouth. The gator closed his mouth, as the crowd gasped...

After about a minute, the man grabbed a beer bottle and smacked the alligator hard on the top of its head. The gator opened his mouth, and the man removed his penis, unscathed as promised.

The crowd cheered wildly, and the first of the free drinks were delivered...
 
While the crowd was still cheering, the man suddenly jumped up on the bar again, and shouted out another offer:  "I'll pay anyone $100 who's willing to give it a try!!!"

A hush fell over the crowd...

After a while, a hand went up in the back of the bar... A young woman timidly spoke up...

"I'll try it -- but just don't hit me so hard with the beer bottle!"
