2010 Jokes


The ability to make and understand puns is considered to be the highest level of language development. Here 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. 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


Can Cold Water Clean Dishes? 
This is for all the germ conscious folks 
that worry about using cold water to clean. 

John went to visit his 90 year old grandfather 
in a very secluded, rural area of Saskatchewan 

After spending a great evening chatting the night away, 
the next morning John's grandfather prepared 
breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast. 


However, John noticed a film like substance on his plate, 
and questioned his grandfather asking, 

'Are these plates clean?' 

His grandfather replied, 

'They're as clean as cold water can get em. 
Just you go ahead and finish your meal, Sonny!' 


For lunch the old man made hamburgers. 

Again, John was concerned about the plates, 
as his appeared to have tiny specks around 
the edge that looked like dried egg and asked, 

'Are you sure these plates are clean?' 

Without looking up the old man said, 

'I told you before, Sonny, those dishes are as 
clean as cold water can get them. Now don't you 
fret, I don't want to hear another word about it!' 

Later that afternoon, John was on his way to a nearby town 
and as he was leaving, his grandfather's dog 
started to growl, and wouldn't let him pass. 


John yelled and said, 
'Grandfather, your dog won't let me get to my car'. 



Without diverting his attention from the football game 
he was watching on TV, the old man shouted! 

'Coldwater, go lay down now, yah hear me!' 



Meet Coldwater !

Ducks In Heaven

Three women die together in an accident and go to Heaven.

When they get there, St. Peter says, "We have only one rule here in Heaven: Don't step on the ducks!"

So the three women enter Heaven and, sure enough, there are ducks all over the place; it is almost impossible not to step on a duck.

Although they try their best to avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one. Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw. St. Peter chains them together and says, "Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly man!"

The next day, the second woman accidentally steps on a duck and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing. With him is another extremely ugly man. St. Peter chains them together with the same admonishment he gave the first woman.

The third woman observed all this and, not wanting to be chained to an ugly man for all eternity is very, very careful where she steps. She manges to go months without stepping on any ducks,

One day, St. Peter comes up to her with the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on -- very tall, long eyelashes, muscular. St. Peter chains them together without saying a word. The happy woman says, "I wonfer what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?" The guy says, "I don't know about you, but I stepped on a duck."
