Pun Contest

Alright.  So you think you’re clever?  How about the highest art form out there?  Yes, it is time for  The Almighty Pun Contest.

Here is a light sample from the past year:

  • Bakers trade bread recipes on a knead-to-know basis.
  • Santa’s helpers are subordinate clauses.
  • Acupuncture is a jab well done.
  • Marathon runners with bad footwear suffer the agony of defeat.
  • The poor guy fell into a glass grinding machine and made a spectacle of
    himself.

No get to punning.

    these three pieces of string walk into a bar and the bartender says, “We don’t serve string! Get out!” So the string leave and are standing outside the bar parched and wondering what to do when suddenly one gets an idea. “I have an idea!” says he. So he ties himself in a know and frays his ends and promply walks back into the bar. The bartenter says to him, “Hey wait a minute, are you a piece of string?” and he replies nonchalantly, “Nope. I’m afraid not.”

    haha, get it? a frayed knot!?

  38. A man walks into a doctor’s office and asks the doctor to inspect his leg. The man says, “Here, put your ear to my knee.”

    The doctor puts his ear to the man’s knee and hears very faintly, “Come on, can I have five bucks, just five bucks?”

    The doctor steps back in horror, and the man says, “I know, but it gets worse. Put your ear to my shin.” The doctor puts his ear to the man’s shin and hears very faintly, “Come on, can I have ten bucks, just ten bucks?”

    Once again, the doctor stands up, very perplexed. The man then says, “If that surprises you, put your ear to my ankle.” The doctor puts his ear to the man’s ankle and hears oh so faintly, “Come on, can I have twenty bucks, just twenty bucks?”

    The doctor then stands up and says, “Well, I can I make just one conclusion. Your leg is broke in three places.”

  49. I heard this joke from Jusdeep.

    So, I was at Seal Beach and I decided to take a walk on the pier. At the end of the pier, I saw a woman crying. I asked her what was wrong and she said, “I’ve never been hugged.” Naturally, I gave her a hug. The next day I went back to the pier again and the same woman was there. Again she was crying and she said, “I’ve never been kissed” so I gave her a kiss. The next day I went back to the pier to see if the crying woman would be there again. She was and she cried, “I’ve never been screwed.”…so I kicked her off the pier. ;)

  76. This is the ultimate muscial pun, but you have to know your theory to get the whole thing. Re-read it if you don’t understand it the first time (if you get through the first paragraph, I commend you):

    A ‘C’, an ‘E-flat’, and a ‘G’ go into a bar. The bartender says: “Sorry, but we don’t serve minors.” So, the ‘E-flat’ leaves, and the ‘C’ and the ‘G’ have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished: the ‘G’ is out flat. An ‘F’ comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough.

    A ‘D’ comes into the bar and heads straight for the bathroom saying, “Excuse me. I’ll just be a second.” An ‘A’ comes into the bar, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of ‘C’ is not a minor. Then the bartender notices a ‘B-flat’ hiding at the end of the bar and exclaims: “Get out now! You’re the seventh minor I’ve found in this bar tonight.”

    The ‘E-flat’, not easily deflated, comes back to the bar the next night in a 3-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender says: “You’re looking sharp tonight, come on in! This could be a major development.” This proves to be the case, as the ‘E-flat’ takes off the suit, and everything else, and stands there au natural.

    Eventually, the ‘C’ sobers up, and realizes in horror that he’s under a rest. The ‘C’ is brought to trial, is found guilty of contributing to the diminution of ‘a’ minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of ‘DS’ (district service) without ‘Coda’ at an upscale correctional facility. On appeal, however, the ‘C’ is found innocent of any wrongdoing, even accidental, and that all accusations to the contrary are bassless.

    The bartender decides, however, that since he’s only had tenor so patrons, the soprano out in the bathroom, and everything has become alto much treble, he needs a rest – and closes the bar.

The bartender asks, “Hey aren’t you that piece of rope I just threw out of here?”

    The rope replies, “No, I’m a frayed knot.”
