    PUNS

    Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, but when they lit a fire
    in the
    craft it sank-proving once and for all that you can't have your
    kayak and
    heat it, too.

    Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went to Hollywood
    and
    became a famous actor. The other stayed behind in the cotton fields
    and
    never amounted to much. The second one, naturally, became known as
    the
    lesser of two weevils.
    ***

    A three-legged dog walks into a saloon in the Old West. He slides
    up to
    the bar and announces: "I'm looking for the man who shot my paw."
    ***

    Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused his dentist's Novocain
    during
    root canal work? He wanted to transcend dental medication.
    ***

    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."

    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.
    ***

    A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them
    goes to
    a family in Egypt and is named "Amal." The other goes to a family
    in
    Spain; 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 Amal. Her husband responds, "But they are
    twins -if you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal."
