If there's any kind of piracy I don't like, it's a CONS-piracy!

Well, okay. I know this one..and it is pretty funny...

Okay, a mollusk walks up to this sea cucumber, well he doesn't actually walk, he's just there, and he turns to the sea cucumber, and... Well, wait, there's a mollusk and a sea cucumber and...or maybe it was some sort of shell fish.....well anyway, and then he says somthing really funny and the sea cucumber says "Plankton! I don't need no stinkin' plankton!"

I'm suprised at how many of these jokes aren't really puns!

You should be pun-ished for those puny pun-chlines.

Come to think of it, I should be the one punished for the cheezy puns above.

How many mice does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Spoiler

Two, of course, but the tricky part is getting them in there.

I Shakespeare's day, puns were considered the highest form of humor. Of course, Shakespeare died 400 years ago...

Anyway, all these puns make it seem like it's the end of the world, and Armageddon tired of all the silliness.

HoN

As much as I would love to join in on the puns, it's late. I'll tell some jokes tomorrow.

Here's one of my favourite emo jokes from my anti-emo friends:

Q. How many emos does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Spoiler

None; they just sit in the dark and cry about it.

Okay, this is my fave, and I STILL can't believe it was on the Muppet Show (new version, but still...). It was told by that Mexican sounding guy, so say it with that sort of an accent for extra effect:

"What do you get when you cross an elephant and a rhino?"

"I don't know, what?"

"Eleph-I-NO!"

[Hell if I know.]

It made me wonder if the Muppets actually had censors breathing down their felt-covered necks or not.

Some punny ones so far, though. And as far as whether or not they're a high or low form of humour, you'd be surprised how long it takes for people to grow into an age when they start to appreciate and understand puns and what makes them funny. I still have some grade 6 students looking at me blankly with "I don't get it" written all over their face when I test 'em. It's cool to see their little brain hamsters a-runnin' while they sit there slack-jawed.

erm... ones i heard recently, cant think of a really bad one though

A man started work at an explosives factory, but he soon got fired.

The trouble with skunks is that they don't have common scents.

My potato gun was confiscated by the United Nations.
They said I wasn't allowed to have weapons of mash destruction.

A couple went to a pet shop and ended up buying a lion (as you do). The shop owner had told them that unfortunately the lion had an odd allergy to wet weather and that raindrops would actually hurt it.
One day the lion was outside when the couple heard cries form the garden. "What's that noise?" asked the man. "It's the lion", his wife replied, "it's roaring with pain."
