Pun Intended

  1. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly but when they lit a fire, the boat sank... proving once and for all that you can't have your kayak and heat it, too.
  2. This guy goes into a restaurant for breakfast. After looking over the menu he says, "I'll just have the Eggs Benedict." His order comes a while later and it's served on a big, shiny hubcap. He asks the waiter "What's with the hubcap?" The waiter sings, "There's no plate like chrome for the hollandaise."
  3. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused his dentist's Novocain during root canal work? He wanted to transcend dental medication.
  4. 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."
  5. A doctor made it his regular habit to stop off at a bar for a hazelnut daiquiri on his way home. The bartender knew of his habit and would always have the drink waiting at precisely 5:03 p.m. One afternoon as the end of the work day approached, the bartender was dismayed to find he was out of hazelnut extract. Thinking quickly, he threw together a daiquiri made with hickory nuts and set it on the bar. The doctor came in at his regular time, took one sip of the drink and exclaimed "This isn't a hazelnut daiquiri!" "No, I'm sorry" replied the bartender. "It's a hickory daiquiri,doc."
  6. A hungry lion was roaming through the jungle looking for something to eat. He came across two men. One was sitting under a tree reading a book; the other was typing away on his typewriter. The lion quickly pounced the man reading the book and devoured him. Even the king of the jungle knows that readers digest and writers cramp.
  7. A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Amahl" The other goes to a family in Spain and they name him Juan. Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his mom. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Amahl. Her husband responds, "But they are twins-if you've seen Juan, you've seen Amahl!"
  8. A guy goes to a psychiatrist. "Doc, I keep having these alternating recurring dreams. First I'm a teepee; then I'm a wigwam, then I'm a teepee, then I'm a wigwam. It's driving me crazy. What's wrong with me?" The doctor replies: "It's very simple. You're two tents."
  9. There was a man who entered a local paper's pun contest. He sent inten different puns, in the hope that at least one of the puns would win. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.
