    I was out fishing yesterday when, out of the blue, my girlfriend texted me telling me she was breaking up with me.

    I was left reeling

    Don't worry. There's plenty more fish in the sea.

    Two fishermen were in a boat out in the open sea. Next minute, a huge hand emerges from the water, moves slowly to the left, then all the way to the right.

    One of the fishermen says:





    "Wow, did you see the size of that wave?!!"

    Next Christmas, the big pantomime in town is going to have a golf theme to it.
    It will be called Woods in the Babes.

    A visiting specialist is visiting an Edinburgh hospital. He enters a ward full of patients with no obvious sign of injury or illness and greets one.

    The patient replies:

    "Fair fa’ your honest sonsie face,
    Great chieftain o’ the puddin’ race,
    Aboon them a’ ye take yer place,
    Painch, tripe or thairm,
    As langs my airm."

    The specialist is confused, so he just grins and moves on to the next patient. The patient responds:

    "Some hae meat an’ canna eat,
    And some wad eat that want it,
    But we hae meat an’ we can eat,
    So let the Lord be thankit."

    Even more confused, and his grin now rictus-like, the specialist moves on to the next patient, who immediately begins to chant:

    "Wee sleekit, cowerin’, timrous beasty,
    O the panic in thy breasty,
    Thou needna start awa’ sae hastie,
    Wi’ bickering brattle."

    Now seriously troubled, the visitor turns to the accompanying doctor and asks "Is this a psychiatric ward?"

    "No," replies the doctor, "this is the serious Burns unit."

    What are the worst puns you've seen on the news or a newspaper?

    I was just watching Sky News and heard them use terrible puns.

    When trailing the "Terry/Bridges" story:

    "Coming up, find out if Wayne "built Bridges" with his old mate John Terry........ Cuts to a clip of them not shaking hands......"

    then trailing a story about the Ireland & England rugby match while showing a clip of Johnny Wilkinson training.........

    "As the England team prepare to take on Ireland at Twickenham, will "Johnny be good?"......"

    Or in the Sun newspaper, showing a picture Zinadine Zidane loafing that Italian football player:

    "There's a murder on Zidane's Floor....."

    *cringes*

    Anymore you can think of?
