Very Punny

Thanks to Erin for e-mailing me this list of puns. I hope it puts a smile on your face, as it did mine!
  1. A vulture boarded an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looked at him and said, "I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger."
  2. Two fish swam into a concrete wall. One turned to the other and said, "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 met. One said, "I've lost my electron." The other said, "Are you sure?" The first replied, "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 had identical twins and gave them up for adoption. One of them went to Spain and was named "Juan"; the other went to a family in Egypt who named him "Ahmal." Years later, Juan sent a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she told her husband that she wished she had a picture of Ahmal, too. Her husband responded, "They're identical 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 a super-calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
  10. And finally, there was the person who sent ten different puns to friends in the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did.
