Bad Puns

July 29, 2009

I'm a sucker for bad puns. And I admit that I enjoy Car Talk. When the two are together, it is a real holiday!

On the July 11 episode of Click & Clack's notorious radio show, Tommy read aloud some really awful - but oh so great - puns.


The Louse Can Beat the Clock

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 that 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."


At Least It Wasn't the Water Loo!

What do you get when you toss a hand grenade into a kitchen in France? Linoleum blownapart.


And my favorite:

The Pundit

There was a man who entered a local paper's pun contest. He sent in ten different puns in the hope that at least one of the puns would win. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.
