Subject: RE: BS: Give us more PUNishment! (Puns II) From: Mark Cohen Date: 03 May 01 - 12:14 AM Oh, Lordy, Art, that reminds me of the line that reportedly got Soupy Sales thrown off the air. Soupy, holding up a big card with the letter A on it: "White Fang, what's this letter?" White Fang: "A." Soupy: "Very good!" White Fang gets a few more letters correct. Soupy, holding up an F: "Great! Now, White Fang, what's this letter?" WF: "K." Soupy: "No, White Fang, try again. What is this letter?" WF: "K." Soupy: "White Fang, how come every time I show you an F, you see K?" Aloha, Mark |

Subject: RE: BS: Give us more PUNishment! (Puns II) From: Art Thieme Date: 02 May 01 - 11:58 PM I suspect one could call a one-legged mongoloid person from Poland a Polaroid One-Step. There was a pun I can't remember very well that involved Spanish and English. An American is trying to buy some socks in Mexico and asks a man on the street where to find them. And the answer he gets is something like, "Eso si que es."--------Of course that spells socks---S-O-C-K-S. This leads to a misunderstanding that's like a mini version of Abbott & Costello's bit about "WHOSE ON FIRST?"-----Does anyone know what "Eso si que es" means in Spanish ???? Art Thieme |

Subject: RE: BS: Give us more PUNishment! (Puns II) From: GUEST,PatJoe Date: 02 May 01 - 04:08 PM Folks this is a fable, it probably didn't happen, but read it anyway for the moral. A certain Mr. Chan lived near the forest with his wife and little daughter Go Lee Bok. Mr. Chan had a collection of fine teak bowels. One day Mrs. Chan used some of the teak bowels to serve porridge. When Mr. Chan tried to eat the porridge he said "it's too hot". The same thing happened when Go Lee Bok tried the porridge. So Mrs. Chan suggested that they all take a walk while the porridge cooled. While they were gone a small bear entered their home and ate some of the porridge. It was so delicious he took the bowels and ran of into the forest. When the family returned and Mr. Chan discovered that his teak bowels were missing, he called the police. The police investigated and they found the foot prints of the bear. "A small bear stole your bowels" said the policeman, "see the footprints are no larger than those of a boy". The moral is; close the door when you go out. If the door wasn't open in this story, the police would not have to be looking for that boy foot bear with the teaks of Chan. |

You might notice that I was one of the ones who bit hard! Spaw's outrageous Ode to Billy Joe pun that caught a lot of us hook, line and sinker! Wolfgang - I love crossword puzzles and have often wondered how anyone could possibly work one in another language. CRANKY YANKEE and Bill - I somehow remember the porpoise pun as having something to do with Pennsylvania Knitney Lions, transporting gulls, and immortal porpoises. |

Subject: RE: BS: Give us more PUNishment! (Puns II) From: Wolfgang Date: 02 May 01 - 09:06 AM And for us, Bill, the main aim was to make a joke about Kohl who was not very good in foreign languages, neither in pronounciation nor in understanding. That has a long tradition in Germany, making jokes about our politicians' bad English I mean, starting with poor old president Luebke who at the end of his presidency was rather close to dementia. He supposedly once was sitting aside the Queen (when she came over to Germany for a visit) in an opera house and said to here immediately before the music started: 'Equal goes it loose." Wolfgang |

Subject: RE: BS: Give us more PUNishment! (Puns II) From: Mark Cohen Date: 02 May 01 - 01:26 AM Another cross-language pun, that I think I made up in college: There's a line in a Jacques Brel song, "La Prochaine Amour", that goes: "Un homme averti en vaut deux." The obvious English translation? "Forewarned is four-armed." And one from Dr. Samuel Johnson himself: There was once a painting of an Abbott who was lying dead in a field, with (as the good doctor put it) "a Lilly growing out of his A***" The motto written across the bottom of the painting read: "Habe Mortem Prae Oculis" -- in other words, "Have Death Before Thine Eyes". However, it could also be read as a literal description of the picture: "Abbe Mort en Pre, au Cul Lis." One of the masters of the cross-language pun was the late Anthony Burgess. But the greatest of them all, in my opinion, was James Joyce. When Joyce was asked his opinion of Sigmund Freud, by someone who no doubt expected a discourse on psychology and literature, he merely replied, "I think it is very interesting that we have the same name." Aloha, Mark |

Subject: RE: BS: Give us more PUNishment! (Puns II) From: Hillheader Date: 01 May 01 - 02:39 PM Crazy Eddie Sorry if I upset anyone. I know the police anywhere can be a bit oversensitive, but shooting someone for having Araldite is a bit much! John B and Sophocleese Don't be too crotchety - I'm sure it will all end in a minum or two and or we'll all be quavering wrecks. A true story. The computer company WANG moved to Scotland and recruited staff locally. At the very first training course the Japanese trainer said that he wanted everyone to answer the phone in exactly the same way by giving the company name, their own surname then their Department. John Kerr refused saying Wang,Kerr Sales did not project the correct corporate image! Another true story. I once knew someone called Mervyn Dyer who was Welsh. He answered the phone simply by saying "Dyer 'ere" and could never understand why people laughed. Davebhoy |

Subject: RE: BS: Give us more PUNishment! (Puns II) From: Troll Date: 01 May 01 - 08:46 AM Princess Lura of Ruritania was on her honeymoon in Russia as the guest of the Tsar. One day she and her husband, Prince Alexey, spent the day alose in a walled garden "sunbathing" and that night she discovered that she had a terrible all-over sunburn. The next morning they were to go on a horseback tour of the Ural Mountains and the Princess knew that she could never ride that far. The sunburn was much too painful> What to do? As a royal Princess, she could not tell the Tsar what was really wrong. The subject was just too delicate. On the other hand, while she could say she was ill, she knew that it was wrong to lie, so she was caught on the horns of a quandry. She had just decided that she would simply have to go on the tour when her husband came in. As she told him of her decision, he stood gazing at her blistered buttocks and thighs, shaking his head.

When the wound heals, he spends days and days, turning into weeks and months learning to fast draw and shoot accurately" Finally he decides his skills are about as good as they are ever likely to become He straps on a gun belt with a 44Magnum in the holster, slams open the swinging doors of the saloon and barks, "I'M LOOKIN' FOR THE GUY THAT SHOT MY PAW". |

Subject: RE: BS: Give us more PUNishment! (Puns II) From: Wolfgang Date: 01 May 01 - 04:21 AM Art, the only thing more difficult than understanding puns in a foreign language is doing crossword puzzles. Actually I read some of them here to test my knowledge of English. I understand up to a third of the puns here. Lack of cultural background that is like not knowing citations from the bible or Shakespeare or famous lines from advertisments. So you want to read one that you cannot understand though it is told in English (there are some jokes that Germans tell in English for the sake of the pun; the background knowledge to get it, however, is firmly rooted in German)? When chancellor Kohl went over to Britain to meet prime minister Thatcher he said he'd like to go to a pub for recreation. Maggie said she'd love to join him and they both went to the local pub. Maggie ordered a Guinness and Helmut ordered a lager. Maggie raised her glass and said: "To your health!" Helmut responded: "To your dunkelth". Wolfgang |

Subject: RE: BS: Give us more PUNishment! (Puns II) From: Chip2447 Date: 30 Apr 01 - 11:55 PM The Lone Ranger, sans Tonto, was captured by an irate group of Indians. The Chief, being a fair and just man gave the lone ranger one wish before he was to be killed. The Ranger thought for a moment and asked to speak to his horse as his last wish.
The Chief thought this odd but a deal was a deal, we wasnt going to be known as an indian giver.
The Lone Ranger whispered into Silver's ear. The white horse, in classic cinematic style, reared and bolted off in the direction of the fort.
Just as the masked man was about to meet his doom, Silver gallops back into the encampment, a beautiful redhead astride the saddle.
When the Lone Ranger sees this he shouts, "YOU STUPID HORSE, I SAID 'GO FETCH THE POSSEE!!!" Chip2447 |

Subject: RE: BS: Give us more PUNishment! (Puns II) From: Abby Sale Date: 30 Apr 01 - 11:51 PM Yes, Ferdinand Feghoot certainly was the greatest of all travelers in time and space. Once in 1840 he stopped in to see his friend, a great chief of the Cheyenne. The chief was a paragon of the Cheyenne Way and had counted many, many coup in his days. His coup sticks covered his tent, up the walls and strung across the whole top of the tepee. Suddenly a fierce thunder storm arose as only are seen in the vast plains of America - lightning blast followed lightning blast and the massive crashes of thunder seemed uninterrupted and endless. Amazingly, however, inside the tent all was calm, nearly silent. Feghoot was stunned - "How can this be, Chief? How can it be so quiet in here?" The chief simply pointed up and said, "Acoustical ceiling." |

Subject: RE: BS: Give us more PUNishment! (Puns II) From: Lanfranc Date: 30 Apr 01 - 07:04 PM In the depths of the English countryside, there stood an ancient coaching inn. Like many of its ilk, it was at the top of a hill, and was called "The Cock", because it was there that an extra horse (the cock horse) was stabled to be hired to any carter or stagecoach that needed extra power to get up the hill. The landlord of this hostelry had an old dog, by name Dobbin, who had an eventful life, full of incident and accident. In one accident, he was run over by a car which severed his tail at the root. The vet who stitched up his other wounds declined to reattach the severed tail, saying that it was not worthwhile with such an old dog. Now, in some breeds, Wiemeraners, for example, a docked tail is a desirable attribute, but for this mongrel it was something of a handicap. Now no-one, landlord or customer, could tell when he was happy. The dog's master was about to consign the redundant appendage to the dustbin, when he had a thought. He went round to the local taxidermist and had him preserve the tail, which he then attached to the wall of the public bar on a pivot, with a length of stout cord tied to one end leading down to where Dobbin could reach it. The old dog was then trained to pull the string when he was happy (which was most of the time, for he was a well-fed pet), and the tail wagged away on the wall. The news of this amusing trick sped far and wide, and trade at the pub was significantly boosted by the tourists and others who travelled far and wide to witness it. Unfortunately, the old dog's days were numbered, and it was not long after that he tried to run in front of his last car. Humiliatingly, the vehicle that ultimately cost him his life was a Reliant Robin - he forgot about the third wheel in the middle! Well, Dobbin had been a good dog, in his mongrel way, and, as with all good dogs, his soul winged its way to canine Heaven. However, there was a snag, Canine St Peter informed him that tail-less mongrels could not be admitted through the canine pearly gates. Dobbin's shade could either return to the place where his tail was and bring it back with him to gain admission, or spend eternity in canine purgatory. So the ghost of Dobbin returned early in the morning to the Cock, which was, needless to say, by that time firmly closed. He whined and scratched on the door to attract his former master's attention. The landlord woke, and went to the door. He opened it and the doggy ghost rushed in an jumped against the wall where his tail was still pinned. The landlord realised at once what the problem was, but shook his head sadly. "Dobbin", he said, "after all these years you ought to know that I can't re-tail spirits after hours!"

Instead, I made a classical mistake, and ended up looking like a ritard! Since puns aren't my forte, I will try to temper my remarks in the future. Then, hopefully, we won't have a repeat of this little contretemps. (A minor point: what's a bransle?) |

I can't remember it very well but I remember some awful puns - Prime being 'havn't you got a gnome to go to!' BTW - what exactly IS a pun? I always understood it to be a play on words like asking vampires how they like their steaks etc. I think they can cover similar words like the home/gnome example above and lots of the postings in this and the earlier thread - but arn't some of the entries just jokes? Not as it realy matters I guess jokes and puns should all be kept for posterity anyway. A master comedian once said he wrote all the jokes he ever came across down so he would not forget them.
