Knights of the Round Table

A friend sent me a letter which began with this "two-liner" short pun:

The roundest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir
Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi.


What else could I do but create a lens about puns?

All the best,

More Funny Stuff

Why did the chicken cross the road?

The most common answer to this riddle is "To get to the other side." When asked at the end of a series of other riddles, whose answers are clever, obscure, and tricky, this answer's obviousness and straight-forwardness becomes part of the humor. Some psychologists believe the riddle's humor comes from the fact that its answer is expected to be funny, but is not. (Courtesy Wikipedia)



So you think YOU'RE stupid, eh?

Winston Bennett, University of Kentucky Basketball Forward, said, "I've never had major knee surgery on any other part of my body."

Duh...

Vote for your choice of the dumbest celebrity of all time!

So you think YOU'RE stupid, eh? (Part 2)

When Senator Barbara Boxer reportedly said that "Those who survived the San Francisco earthquake said, "Thank God, I'm still alive." But, of course, those who died, their lives will never be the same again," she couldn't know she'd be providing the introductory example of celebrity addleheadedness for this lens.

That's life in the fast lane, eh?

Work Work Work

An Unemployed person who's particular about the job s/he wants when signing on in a Job Center: A dis-earning discerning person.

Pencils could be made with erasers at both ends, but what would be the point?

The man who worked at the watch factory was very funny. He stood about all day making faces.

After working for 24 hours straight he called it a day.

He bent over to pick up a sieve and strained himself.

He was so good with a chainsaw that he was promoted to branch manager.

She got fired from the hot dog stand for putting her hair in a bun.

When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds.

The Blonde Handywoman

A blond, wanting to earn some extra money, decided to hire herself out as a "handywoman" and started canvassing the neighborhoods. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do.

"Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint my porch," he said. "How much will you charge me?"

The blond quickly responded, "How about $50?"

The man agreed and told her that the paint and everything she would need was in the garage. The man's wife, hearing the conversation, said to her husband, "Does she realize
that our porch goes all the way around the house?"

He responded, "That's a bit cynical, isn't it?"

The wife replied, "You're right. I guess I'm starting to believe all those dumb blond jokes we've been getting by email lately."

A short time later, the blond handywoman came to the door to collect her money.

"You finished already?" the husband asked.

"Yes," the blond replied, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats - no extra charge."

Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $50 and handed it to her.

"And by the way," the blond added, "it's not a Porch -- it's a Lexus."

Nothing quite like a nice fire...

Viagra

Someone put Viagra in the town's water supply. After four hours, the doctors were swamped. The competition was stiff.

A brick wall built on damp ground started to lean over, so the bricklayers' mates' all wedged their carrying boxes against it to prop it up.

When the foreman asked whether it was likely to collapse, they replied, "There's a chance it might fall over but the hods are against it!"

I used to have a fear of hurdles, but I got over it.
