From Lakshman & Sanath Jayatilaka: To all connoisseurs of good puns

“My ex-wife still misses me. But her aim is starting to improve”

How does an attorney sleep? First he lies on one side, then he lies on the other side

*************

I have a few jokes about unemployed people, but none of them work

elanka

How do you make holy water? You take some regular water & boil the hell out of it

***************

Will glass coffins be a success? Remains to be seen

***************

What’s the difference between a hippo and a zippo? One is really heavy and the other is a little lighter

**************

Two windmills are standing in a wind farm. One asks, “What’s your favorite kind of music?” The other says, “I’m a big metal fan.”

**************

Hear about the new restaurant called Karma? There’s no menu – you get what you deserve

***************

I went to buy some camouflage trousers yesterday but couldn’t find any

***************

What do you call a bee that can’t make up its mind? A maybe

***************

I tried to sue the airline for losing my luggage. I lost my case

***************

When everything is coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane

***************

A cross-eyed teacher couldn’t control his pupils

***************

She had a photographic memory but never developed it

***************

Is it ignorance or apathy that’s destroying the world today? I don’t know and don’t really care

**************

I wasn’t originally going to get a brain transplant, but then I changed my mind

***************

Which country’s capital has the fastest-growing population? Ireland. Every day it’s Dublin.

***************

My ex-wife still misses me. But her aim is starting to improve

***************

The guy who invented the door knocker got a no-bell prize

***************

I saw an ad for burial plots, and I thought: “That’s the last thing I need!”

***************

Need an ark? I Noah guy

***************

I used to be indecisive; now I’m not so sure

***************

Sleeping comes so naturally to me, I could do it with my eyes closed

***************

What did the grape say when it got stepped on? Nothing – but it let out a little whine

**************

What do you call a super articulate dinosaur? A Thesaurus.
