code:
[localhost:~] geordie% man tunefs | grep fish
You can tune a file system, but you can't tune a fish.

Which makes the swordfish on the front of "System Performance Tuning, 2nd Edition (O'Reilly System Administration)" a pretty funny joke.

A newspaper holds a pun-writing contest. Joe Blow decides to enter. He writes ten puns and sends them in. After eagerly waiting weeks for the results, he finally finds out if one of his won--no pun in ten did.

All right, you asked for it...

If one were able to clone a hobbit, would it be called a frodocopy?

The hobbit footrace was so close, it was a frodo-finish.

You can thank my dad for those. There were more Frodo/photo puns, but I will spare you the pain. Instead, I'll share some of the pun-war on the title "Lord of the Rings" that he and I had.

1. The world's best violinist is the Lord of the Strings.
2. Bill Clinton is definitely the Lord of the Flings.
3. He who runs a network game server is Lord of the Pings.
4. Someone who's not careful with their car doors in a parking lot? Lord of the Dings.
5. A collector of expensive vases could aptly be called Lord of the Mings.
6. The abusive comedian was known as the Lord of the Zings.
7. Colonel Sanders was the Lord of the Wings.
8. Could you call a chess master "Lord of the Kings"? Or would that be the world's best Elvis impersonator?
9. A beekeeper who's not too careful could end up Lord of the Stings.
10. Break both your arms and you'll be Lord of the Slings.

Aaaand I'm spent. I'm really sorry about that. I'll stop now. Anyone else? "Bueller? ...Bueller?"

One of my friends sent me this list of funnies, which I found quite ammusing at the time...man, I need to get out more often..

Save the whales. Collect the whole set.

A day without sunshine is, like, night.

On the other hand, you have different fingers.

I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.

I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges. [- referring to the well-known Sponge Bob, I think.]

Honk if you love peace and quiet.

I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.

42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.

99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.

He who laughs last thinks the slowest.

Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. (that one's mean!)

The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol.

I intend to live forever- so far, so good.

Borrow money from pessimists-they don't expect it back.

If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

Quantum mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of.

The only substitue for good manners is fast reflexes.

Support bacteria-they're the only culture some people have.

When everything's coming your way, you're in teh wrong lane-and going the wrong direction.

A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

For every action there is an equal and opposite criticism.

Despite the cost of living, have you noticed how popular it remains?

Nothing is foolproof to a talented fool.

Remember, half the people you know are below average.


And another to add to the list. I present to thee, the worst, stupidest, most dorky Chem. pun ever: "I am so BORON..."

Reminds me of some of my own...

I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.

The problem with making mental notes is that I keep losing them.

Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

(Reminds me of a real-life story, but it doesn't classify as a joke -- maybe I'll share it in another thread)

I intend to live forever- so far, so good.

I plan to live forever, or die trying.

For every action there is an equal and opposite criticism.

Third law of strategic planning: For every vision, there is an equal and opposite revision.

46 PTT) Preist who walks in sleep -- Roamin' Catholic.
47.) What do you do when a drunkard chemist is comming? Hydrogyn.

Job puns.... This was a huge long thing that I got from my Middle School teacher and re-reading this thread brought it back.

I used to work in a backery, was only in it for the dough. The job was religous work, always so holy. Bos was a foreign theif, a Danish Craller. Then, I worked at a Coffee factory, it was really a grind. I had a friend Max there, I knew Maxwell. The company went under, it Folder-ed. I did a few weeks at a farm, and I really milked that one. There were all these chicks and Babes around. So, I moved on to construction. Was really building my way up. The job was riviting. The boss was hard as nails. I told the guys what religon I was and I was condemned. I went to work at a orchestra, the job had a lota strings. I don't mean to blow my own horn, but I was the prinicple 'bone. The bathroom toilet was broken, and there was a sign that said "To flush: Wiggle Handel and wait for it to wiggle Bach." I was a comedian for a little while. I was a real standup guy. Gotta give me props for holding that one so long. Finially I had enough money to buy a Rolls. Rolls down one side of the hill Can't get up the other.

You get the idea. Sorry about that, but I was forced to say it.

The world's full of apathy, but I don't care.

What if there were no hypothetical situations?

Then there's the one about the ailing fisherman who traded a seabird for a sausage. Yup. He took a tern for the wurst.

Sadist (def'n): A person who is kind to a masochist.

What is the similarity between Little Miss Muffet and Sadam Hussein?
They both want to have their whey with their Kurds.
Or, they both have Kurds in their whey.
