Anyone whose appetite is whetted by these puns may be able to find a few more if they can get hold of any of the books published by Eyre Methuen in the 1970s, which collected about a hundred of them. The titles were “You Can't Have Your Kayak And Heat It”, “Upon My Word!”, “Take My Word For It” and “Oh, My Word!”. I think there may have been one or two more published later. To appreciate them properly, you need to read (or preferably hear) the ingenious shaggy-dog stories that lead up to them.

Did you hear about the insomniac agnostic dyslexic. Lays awake all night wondering if there really is a dog.

I agree totally, TabbyTom. The stories leading up to the final punchline were highly entertaining. I know I, and presumably others, was always thinking as I was listening about how this amusing tale would end up with that final punchline. So clever! I'll certainly have to find those books.

I recall a similar radio show from the late 60s or early 70s and one skit in particular where the contestant/guest had to do a pun on the word 'Eureka'. I have forgotten a lot of the joke, but it involved Archimedes and an E-type Jaguar. The punchline went something like 'Your-E-car, I have found it!'

Great one, Mountain goat, thats what I call a joke.

And just to add to Mountain Goat's effort..
the dyslexic devil worshipper who renounced dog and sold his soul to Santa !

And the 'sequel' is just as bad/good.

I love a good groaner!

Not a joke, but a true story:
When I renewed my household insurance a few years ago, the broker said that along with the usual exclusions I was not covered for any accidental damage caused by my canine companion.
You've guessed it, not only was I not covered for Act of God, I wasn't covered for Act of Dog.

I bow to the great tezza.
