Sunday Groaner
Going going...
Auctioneer: “Now what am I offered for this beautiful bust of Robert Browning?”
Man in crowd: “That isn’t Browning – that’s Shakespeare!”
Auctioneer: “ Sorry – just goes to show how much I know about the Bible.”
You are what you eat
“Tell me what you eat, and I’ll tell you what you are,” said the pub’s philosopher.
Whereupon a meek little man, sitting a few feet away, called softly to the waitress: “Cancel my order for prawn salad, please.”
Shape
Teacher: “What is the shape of the earth, John?”
John: “It is round.”
Teacher: “How do you know it’s round?”
John: “All right, it’s square, then. I don’t want to start an argument with you.”
Nouns
Name three collective nouns.
Dustpan, dustbin, and vacuum cleaner.
Grows
The fastest growing thing in nature is a fish – from the time the fisherman catches it until the time he can tell someone all about it.
Game
Woman over telephone: “Are you the game warden?”
Game warden: “Yes, madam.”
Woman: “Well thank goodness, I have the right person at last! Would you mind suggesting some games suitable for a children’s party?”
