HUMOR FOR LEXOPHILES (Word lovers)



I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.

Police were called to a day care where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.

Did you hear about the guy whose whole left side was cut off? He's all right now.

The roundest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference.

The butcher backed up into the meat grinder and got a little behind in his work.

To write with a broken pencil is pointless.

When fish are in schools they sometimes take debate.

The short fortune teller who escaped from prison is a small medium at large.

A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months.

A thief fell and broke his leg in wet cement. He became a hardened criminal.

Thieves who steal corn from a garden could be charged with stalking.

We'll never run out of math teachers because they always multiply.

When the smog lifts in Los Angeles, U.C.L.A.

The math professor went crazy at the blackboard. He did a number on it.

The professor discovered that her theory of earthquakes was on shaky ground.

The dead batteries were given out free of charge.

If you take a laptop computer for a run you could jog your memory.

A dentist and a manicurist fought tooth and nail.

A bicycle can't stand alone, it's two tired.

A will is a dead giveaway.

Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.

A backward poet writes inverse.

In a democracy it's your vote that counts. In feudalism, it's your Count that votes.

A chicken crossing the road: poultry in motion.

If you don't pay your exorcist you can get repossessed.

With her marriage she got a new name and a dress.

Show me a piano falling down a mine shaft, and I'll show you A-flat miner.

When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds.

The guy who fell onto an upholstery machine was fully recovered.

You're stuck with your debt if you can't budge it.

Local Area Network in Australia: The LAN down under.

He broke into song because he couldn't find the key.

A calendar's days are numbered.

A lot of money is tainted. 'Taint yours, and 'taint mine.

A boiled egg is hard to beat.

He had a photographic memory that was never developed.

A plateau is a high form of flattery.

Those who get too big for their britches will be exposed in the end.

When you've seen one shopping center you've seen a mall.

If you jump off a Paris bridge, you are in Seine.

When she saw her first strands of gray hair, she thought she'd dye.

Bakers trade bread recipes on a knead- to-know basis.

Santa's helpers are subordinate clauses.

Acupuncture: a jab well done.

I was listening to car talk today, and they did something like this. Number four is my favorite.


Tommy's List of "Phrases to Live By"

1. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember: amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

2. Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good.

3. Love is grand. Divorce is several hundred grand.

4. Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly and for the same reason.

5. An optimist thinks that this is the best of possible worlds. A pessimist fears that this is true.

6. In just two days, tomorrow will be yesterday.

7. I always wanted to be a procrastinator; I never got around to it.

8. I am a nutritional overachiever.

9. I am having an out of money experience.

10. I plan on living forever. So far, so good.

11. A day without sunshine is like night.

12. I have kleptomania, but when it gets bad, I take something for it.

13. Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.
