| Since I am in need of a GOOD LAUGH  I Iooked for and found these silly puns. Share your pun. We'll give a badge to the funniest.   The fattest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi. I thought I saw an eye doctor on an Alaskan island, but it turned out to be an optical Aleutian A rubber band pistol was confiscated from algebra class, because it was a weapon of math disruption. No matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still be stationery. A dog gave birth to puppies near the road and was cited for littering. Atheism is a non-prophet organization. Two hats were hanging on a hat rack in the hallway. One hat said to the other: 'You stay; I'll go on a head.' A sign on the lawn at a drug rehab center said: 'Keep off the Grass.' The soldier who survived mustard gas and pepper spray is now a seasoned veteran. A backward poet writes inverse. In a democracy it's your vote that counts. In feudalism it's your count that votes. When cannibals ate a missionary, they got a taste of religion. If you jumped off the bridge in Paris, you'd be in Seine. 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.  |
oh these are fun. Fit right in with my recent "Comedy Newsletter (January 2, 2019)"  |
Have you heard about the man who lost his left arm AND left leg?!  No worries, he’s all right now.  |
Circuit Rider  This is a man who wasn't sure he'd be able to write a poem.

 Snowy Thanksgiving in Central Park, NYC Gathering together in grateful appreciation for a Thanksgiving celebration with friends and family is a deeply meaningful and comforting annual ritual for most Americans. Connecting with loved ones to express our gratitude is at the heart of all this feasting, prayerful thanks, recreation, and nostalgia for a simpler time. Somewhere in the bustling activity of November's Thanksgiving is the enduring memory of a day in Plymouth, nearly 400 years ago, when two distinct cultures, on the brink of profound and irrevocable change, shared an autumn feast. Each year, we relish this opportunity to recognize our blessings here on W,Com. The Rising Stars team joins me in celebrating your bright, sunny presence. We give thanks for your warmth, abiding friendship, creative spirit, moxie, growth, and many remarkable accomplishments. Happy Thanksgiving ~ Hannah  Lilli  Gabriella  |
