In fact, I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in jokes -I love puns, and they're as hard to translate as jokes. Impossible, I'd say!
I found these fun pun jokes to share with you all:

Really nice !
Found some too : -A cheese manufacturer based on the coast line was called "Ocean Bries". -Pencils could be made with erasers at both ends, but what would be the point ? Cheers !

Did you hear about the optometrist who fell into a lens grinder and made a spectacle of himself?
Doctors tell us there are over seven million people who are overweight. These, of course, are only round figures. What is the purpose of reindeer? It makes the grass grow, sweetie. There were two ships. One had red paint, one had blue paint. They collided. At last report, the survivors were marooned. The other day I sent my girlfriend a huge pile of snow. I rang her up and asked, "Did you get my drift?" Where do you find giant snails? On the ends of giant's fingers

Hey guys, your puns are really good?? Where do you get them from? Are you just picking them up from the street, let's say, or there are recopillations running around somewhere...

I remember this one, which John Donne, 17th century English poet, supposedly said right after he got married:
John Donne, and Donne [his wife], undone. Saludos Last edited by CarlosRoberto : 04-24-2008 at 04:27 PM. |
