Puns to end the month of June Day 1

 The Roman emperor's wife hates playing hide and seek because wherever she goes, Julius Caesar.

I like what mechanics wear, overall.

If you are being chased by a pack of taxidermists, do not play dead.

I tried to steal spaghetti from the shop, but the female guard saw me and I couldn't get pasta.

My friend told me he was going to a fancy dress party as an Italian island. I said to him, “Don't be Sicily.”

Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field.

I'm reading a book on anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down!

I'm reading a book about teleportation. It's bound to take me places.

What do you call a belt made out of watches? A waist of time.

I used to have a job crushing cans. It was soda pressing.

I'm on a whiskey diet. I've lost three days already.

Did you hear about the guy who lost his left arm and leg in a car crash? He's all right now.

I told my wife she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised.

I'm not a fan of stairs. They're always up to something.

Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything.

Born again

Thanks to Richard for this

 Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were swimming around in the sea – one called Justin and the other called Christian.

The prawns were constantly being harassed and threatened by sharks that inhabited the area. Finally one day Justin said to Christian,
“I’m fed up with being a prawn, I wish I was a shark, then I wouldn’t have any worries about being eaten.”
A large mysterious cod appeared and said, “Your wish is granted” and lo and behold, Justin turned into a shark.
Horrified, Christian immediately swam away, afraid of being eaten by his old mate.
Time passed (as it invariably does) and Justin found life as a shark boring and lonely. All his old mates simply swam away whenever he came close to them.
Justin didn’t realize that his new menacing appearance was the cause of his sad plight.
While swimming alone one day he saw the mysterious cod again and he thought perhaps the mysterious fish could change him back into a prawn.
He approached the cod and begged to be changed back, and, lo and behold, he found himself turned back into a prawn.
With tears of joy in his tiny little eyes, Justin swam back to his friends and bought them all a cocktail.
Looking around the gathering at the reef he realized he couldn’t see his old pal.
“Where’s Christian?” he asked. “He’s at home, still distraught that his best friend changed sides to the enemy & became a shark”, came the reply.
Eager to put things right again and end the mutual pain and torture, he set off to Christian’s abode. As he opened the coral gate memories came flooding back. He banged on the door and shouted, “It’s me, Justin, your old friend, come out and see me again.”
Christian replied, “No way man, you’ll eat me. You’re now a shark, the enemy, and I’ll not be tricked into being your dinner.”
Justin cried back “No, I’m not. That was the old me. I’ve changed…………….
“I’ve found Cod. I’m a prawn again Christian”

So there is are these florists named Joe and Tom. They are doing great business until these friars move in next door to start their own florist business. The friar's flowers are more beautiful, they are cheaper, and soon the friars are running Joe and Tom into the ground. So Joe and Tom go next door and say "if you don't shut down this florist shop, we are going to beat up 3 of your friars!" They said "go ahead." So Joe and Tom beat up 3 friars and nothing happened. They knew they had to do something. So they went out and hired this huge body builder named Hugh. They took Hugh next door. "If you don't shut your friar florist shop down, Hugh here is going to beat up ALL your friars!" The friars looked at Hugh with fear in their eyes and said "Ok, ok, we will shut it down for you." What is the moral of this story? Only Hugh can prevent florist friars.


A thief was on the run after stealing some rare scale model ziggurats from the museum. The police were hot on his trail, so he decided to destroy the evidence. He set the ziggurats on fire. But the plan backfired. The smoke led the police right to the thief. He learned the hard way that smoking ziggurats can be hazardous to your stealth.


and finally

A zoologist had heard the legends for years--there was allegedly a school of Dolphins that, according to the stories, lived forever. He heard the stories for years, but in spite of a long search, failed to come up with any leads as to where these unique creatures could be found and studied, until he ran into the old man.

He was German, a one-time worker in a coal mine, who had served time in the German Navy during World War Two. During his service, he had travelled to the South Pacific where they had encountered the Dolphins on one of their stops.

He explained that they lived in a small salt water lake in the middle of a remote island. The local inhabitants were so paranoid about outsiders that they build a huge stone wall around the entire island. There was only one gate, and it was guarded by armed guards by day and by two fierce lions form the state zoo, that were chained up on either side during the night. The only way to get in, he explained, was to wait until the wee hours of the morning, when the lions slept, and carefully sneak past them.

So they assembled an expedition. A dozen scientists, guided by the old man, sailed to the island. They located the gate. They waited until the darkest pre-dawn hour, then slowly walked past the sleeping lions on tip-toe, being extremely careful not to make a sound.

As the last man was walking by, a flashlight fell out of his back pocket and landed right on the nose of one of the lions. The lions woke up roaring, sirens went off, spotlights came on illuminating the entire area and they were quickly surrounded by armed guards. 

The Captain of the guards strode up and announced, "You're all under arrest!"

The Chief scientist asked, "What's the charge?"


The Captain told them, "Crossing state lions...with a miner...for immortal porpoises
