It's been awhile since we had a Pun Fest:

To write with a broken pencil is pointless.

When fish are in schools they sometimes take debate.

A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months.

When the smog lifts in Los Angeles, U.C.L.A.

The professor discovered that her theory of earthquakes was on shaky ground.

The batteries were given out free of charge.

A dentist and a manicurist married. They fought tooth and nail.

A will is a dead giveaway.

If you don't pay your exorcist you can get repossessed.

With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress.

Show me a piano falling down a mineshaft and I'll show you A-flat miner.

You are stuck with your debt if you can't budge it.

Local Area Network in Australia: The LAN down under.

A boiled egg is hard to beat.

When you've seen one shopping center you've seen a mall.

Police were called to a day care where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.

Did you hear about the fellow whose whole left side was cut off? He's all right now.

If you take a laptop computer for a run you could jog your memory.

A bicycle can't stand alone; it is two tired.

In a democracy it's your vote that counts; in feudalism, it's your Count that votes.

When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds.

The guy who fell onto an upholstery machine was fully recovered.

He had a photographic memory which was never developed.

Acupuncture: a jab well done.

When she saw her first strands of gray hair, she thought she'd dye.

Those who get too big for their britches will be exposed in the end.

HEADLINE:

Precinct Toilet Stolen. Police Have Nothing To Go On.

There are laws to protect the freedom of the press's speech, but none that are worth anything to protect the people from the press.

A hole has been found in the nudist camp wall. The police are looking into it.

Why would a nudist camp need a hole in the wall? [glasses]

The police looked into a crime at a nudist came. When they got there, they couldn't see anything... there was one big cover up.

I feel guilty, this is too much like fun. Or, should I say, too much like pun?

I keep trying to do something about my procrastination but I keep putting it off until tomorrow.
 
Heh, I blame my wife, they're her favourites. :)

How about the headline about the dwarven mystic escapee? (It's been posted before)

Actual headline in my local paper - it was a biography of Matt Groenig, The Simpsons creator, regarding his financial success:

Went to see a Proctologist the other day. I was surprised to find the waiting room packed.
The receptionist said the Doctor was getting a little behind in his work.
 



Or the lady that backed into the electric fan. Disaster!

My wife hurt her knee.
The Doctor asked where the injury was: her below knee or her high knee.
 
I see that B.C. comics has gotten in on this.

Very good, Skip. I got that one:

The tune to "Danny Boy" is called "Londonderry Air".

When we lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, I would carpool from my home in Danville, CA, with three other co-workers to Oracle's San Francisco Office. We travelled through the .7-mile (1.15-km) Caldecott Tunnel, which connects the east side of the East Bay Hills to the San Francisco Bay Basin.

All too frequently, halfway through the tunnel, my colleague's car would stall, causing a horrendous commute-time backup in the tunnel, an emergency tow from the tunnel-safety crew, and a hefty fine for stalling in the tunnel, (not to mention our embarassment from the jeers of other drivers as they passed us and our being very late to work).

The three others of us convinced him that getting his car fixed would be far less expensive than paying the obligatory fine. He took the car to the auto mechanic. He explained to the mechanic that it only seemed to stall when we were carpooling through the Caldecott.

The mechanic soon identified the problem, which he called: Carpool/Tunnel Syndrome.

“People may forget what you say, but they will never forget how you made them feel.
 


A guy goes to the doctor with a chronic condition the he describes like this.

“Doc, I’ve been having this problem with my hands. Ever since I can remember, I was ambidextrous and I could even amaze my friends by writing simultaneously with both hands, forward and backward.”

“Well, just recently, I’ve begun to have a spasm in my hands. I’ll be writing, and all of the sudden, my hand tremmors and jerks around, maybe for 15 or 20 seconds. But then when it’s all over, I look down at my paper, and here’s the craziest thing doc: If I was writing with my left hand, my shaky hand has written something that I did yesterday, and if I was writing with my right hand, I write something, it turns out, that will do tomorrow!”

“What’s happening to me, doc?”

So the doctor carefully examines each of his hands and wrists. “Hmmmm? Seems that you just might have a tick in each wrist that manifests itself in this strange way. It’s not a very common syndrome. But the fact that each wrist displays a distinctly different result, is the most puzzling to me.”

“You see, each wrist has a different wrist tick syndrome. On the one hand, you have a histo wrist tic syndrome, while on the other hand, you have a future wrist tic syndrome.”

Before the fall of the Berlin wall, a couple in London were hosting an East German visitor Rudy by name.

The purpose of his stay was to improve his command of the English language.

One day, when the weather was less than clement, the lady of the household was trying to explain in English to her guest what was happening.

Her husband, knowing that the weather was one of the subjects already covered in the German's education said "Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear." [reindeer2]

It is time for pacifists to stand up and fight for their beliefs.
 
Did you hear about the Guiness World Record attempt, by a Chinese Cuisine, to create the worlds heaviest soup? It was Won-Ton-Soup...

Gerome got fired at the coffee shop for coming to work in a T-shirt.

I thought I saw an eye doctor on an Alaskan island but it turned out to be an optical Aleutian.
