Puns

[CrOtALiTo]

Then I can say.
When a person isn't a person.

I'm right?

Library.
I didn't understand your joke, I would like to be the translation into of the Spanish, of course if you can do it.

Thank you.Remember, puns are only funny when you apply more than one meaning (son juegos de palabras). The verb 'turn into' doesn't always mean 'doblar en/por'. It also means 'convertirse en'.

When is a person not a person. Am I right?Where's the rest of the joke?

Son: When is a person not a person?
Father: When he's a pear, son!

I think I just made up that one. :D

[Rusty]

Son: When is a person not a person?
Father: When he's a pear, son!

I think I just made up that one. :DI think you did, too. (Too bad 'pear, son' isn't pronounced exactly like 'person'. 'Purse, son' is, but it doesn't make sense.)

I found:
When is a person not a person?
When he's a little cross!

Witty, witty! :D

No matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still be stationery.

Two cannibals were eating a clown. One says to the other "Does this taste funny to you?"

Yeah, I used a bit of creative license with the pronunciation on mine. I couldn't help it. It popped into my head and made me laugh so I had to share :D

I like the one you found much better :)

And... did you hear the variation of
"Life is a bLeach, and then you dYe"?

I always like the bumper sticker:
Visualize whirled peas.

Hah! :D
Yes, no more guars!!

guar (gwär), n.
a plant of the legume family, grown as a forage crop and for its seeds, which produce a gum (guar gum) used as a thickening agent and stabilizer in foods and pharmaceuticals and as sizing for paper and cloth.

:hmm:Hmm. I'm seeing a pattern here with peas mashed whirled and used
a in industrial food production. Peace.

Two "bilingual" ones:

-- Once, porque al zarpar, el capitán dice: "¡Eleven anclaaaas!"

-- ¿Por qué el mar es azul?
-- Porque los peces hacen "blu, blu, blu".

Am I right.

Thank you for the observation in my post.
I did some mistakes.

When a business not is a business.

I think what that form is the best way what I can do it.

Thank you for your support.

@David: :lol: Yes, I've been reminded of such an old joke with those commercials. ;)

And...
Did you hear about the Buddhist who went to the dentist and refused to take
Novocain? He wanted to transcend dental medication.

[Perikles]

This one is perhaps a bit tricky:

Why should you never say cogito ergo sum before carpe diem?

Because that would be putting Descartes before de Horace. (cringe)

[Tomisimo]

Very nice Perikles. :thumbsup:

Mathematical puns are a sine of madness.

Be kind to your dentist... he has fillings too!
