A few jokes and gags

By Lee Ann Flemming , READ MORE > 1,304 Reads
On Thu, 03/04/2021 - 8:00 AM

I am a person who is known as having a good sense of humor.  Jokes, riddles and puns are something that I always enjoy.  Several weeks ago I received some hilarious puns that I could not resist sharing with my readers.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. If you can’t laugh at least once during the day, then why even get up in the morning?

*I tried to catch some Fog.  I mist.

*When chemists die, they barium.

*Jokes about German sausage are the worst.

*A soldier who survived mustard gas and pepper spray are now seasoned veterans. 

*I know a guy who is addicted to brake fluid. He says he can stop anytime.

*I stayed up all night to see where the sun went.  Then it dawned on me.

*This girl said she recognized me from the vegetarian club, but I’d never met herbivore.

*I’m reading a book about anti-gravity.  I can’t put it down.

*Class trip to the Coco-Cola factory.  I hope there’s no pop quiz.

*Energizer bunny arrested.  Charged with battery.

*I didn’t like my beard at first. Then it grew on me.

*What does a clock do when it is still hungry?  It goes back four seconds.

*I used to be a banker, but I lost interest.

*Broken pencils are pointless.

*I got a job at a bakery because I kneaded the dough.

*Velcro – What a rip-off!

*Venison for dinner?  Oh deer!

*I used to think I was indecisive, but now I am not so sure.

Hope you enjoy this week’s recipes.  Thanks for reading.
