Beware the Ides of March........Bad Puns!

I am reproducing these for your entertainment, I just had these forwarded to me, and I see no reason to suffer alone!

Some old, some new.........enjoy!

(1) King Ozymandias of Assyria was running low on cash after years of war with the Hittites. His last great possession was the Star of the Euphrates, the most valuable diamond in the ancient world. Desperate, he went to Croesus, the pawnbroker, to ask for a loan. Croesus said, "I'll give you 100,000 dinars for it." "But I paid a million dinars for it," the King protested. "Don't you know who I am? I am the king!" Croesus replied, "When you wish to pawn a Star, makes no difference who you are."


(2) Evidence has been found that William Tell and his family were avid bowlers. However, all the Swiss league records were unfortunately destroyed in a fire, so we'll never know for whom the Tells bowled.

(3) A man rushed into a busy doctor's office and shouted "Doctor! I think I'm shrinking!!" The doctor calmly responded, "Now, settle down. You'll just have to be a little patient."


(4) A marine biologist developed a race of genetically engineered dolphins that could live forever if they were fed a steady diet of seagulls. One day, his supply of the birds ran out so he had to go out and > trap some more. On the way back, he spied two lions asleep on the road. Afraid to wake them, he gingerly stepped over them. Immediately, he was > arrested and charged with transporting gulls across sedate lions for immortal porpoises.

(5) Back in the 1800s the Tates Watch Company of Massachusetts wanted to produce other products and, since they already made the cases for watches, they used them to produce compasses. The new compasses were so bad that people often ended up in Canada or Mexico rather than California. This, of course, is the origin of the expression, "He who has a Tates is lost!"


(6) A thief broke into the local police station and stole all the toilets and urinals, leaving no clues. A spokesperson was quoted as saying, "We have absolutely nothing to go on."

(7) An Indian chief was feeling very sick, so he summoned the medicine man. After a brief examination, the medicine man took out a long, thin strip of elk rawhide and gave it to the chief, telling him to bite off, > chew, and swallow one inch of the leather every day. After a month, the medicine man returned to see how the chief was feeling. The chief shrugged and said, "The thong is ended, but the malady lingers on."


(8) A famous Viking explorer returned home from a voyage and found his name missing from the town register. His wife insisted on complaining to the local civic official who apologized profusely saying, "I must have taken Leif off my census."

(9) There were three Indian squaws. One slept on a deer skin, one slept on an elk skin, and the third slept on a hippopotamus skin. All three became pregnant, and the first two each had a baby boy. The one who slept on the hippopotamus skin had twin boys. This goes to prove that the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides.


(10) A skeptical anthropologist was cataloging South American folk remedies with the assistance of a tribal brujo who indicated that the leaves of a particular fern were a sure cure for any case of constipation. When the anthropologist expressed his doubts, the brujo looked him in the eye and said, "Let me tell you, with fronds like these, who needs enemas?"
 
UGH.

You deserve a "time out" for having us endure that, y'know.

I'll cut to th' chase with these and we can just *pretend* we read the whole silly setup...

"One good tern deserves another"

"That's a long way to tip a Rari!"

"it was easy; In stinks!"

#'s 5,9 & 10 drew a hardy laugh from me! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/jester.gif
 
Okay... anyone know or remember the one about the inmates?

New "inductee" is tossed in a cell. Lights out and he hears a voice yell out: "Number nine!"... The place erupts in laughter... he's puzzled...

From this thread and a bit of extrapolation, the rest is easily guessed.
 
You'd be th' one I'd expect to KNOW that, Jeff!!!

After all, YOU were the one to mention "Vatican Rag" familiarity. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

Thanks for my annual dose of puns. I had to take a couple of breaks to regain my senses, but I made it through.
 
Those remind me of this one:
A Russian and his wife were arguing over the weather. She said it was snowing, he claimed it was rain. The argument became more intense, "Snow," she said, "No Rain," was his reply. Back and forth, until finally he said "Look, Rudolph the Red Knows rain Dear"

A little town had some monks selling flowers, which were starting to take away business from the other flower shops in the area, and wouldn't stop when they asked them to sell the flowers somewhere else. So, they asked the local tough guy, Hugh McAllister, to persuade them to take their business elsewhere, because Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.

Then there was the indian chief who struck oil on the reservation. First thing he did was buy his sons each a luxurious sloop, even though they were out in the middle of a desert. When asked why he would do that, he exclaimed that he always wanted to see his red sons in the sail set! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blush.gif
