    A good pun can be as funny as a good joke so if any of you have any funny puns why not post them. I'll get the ball rolling with a few good ones.

    Have you ever tried to eat a clock?

    It's very time consuming.


    When an escaped prisoner was caught camping out in the woods it was a clear case of criminal in tent.


    It's OK to borrow a book from the public library once in a while, but try not to overdue it.


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


    I wasn't originally going to get a brain transplant, but then I changed my mind.


    Yesterday I accidentally swallowed some food coloring.


    The doctor says I'm OK, but I feel like I've dyed a little inside.


    Why don't some couples go to the gym? Because some relationships don't work out.


    A friend of mine tried to annoy me with bird puns, but I soon realized that toucan play at that game.


    I'd tell you a chemistry joke but I know I wouldn't get a reaction.

    OP,

    I read the first nine puns on your list.

    They were shite

    I gave it one more chance and read the next one.

    Did even one of them make me laugh a little?

    No. No pun in ten did

    The GF came home from Lidl with some baked goods for the tea a while back. Asked me did I want one.

    'Donut mind if I do' says I.

    It was the greatest spur of the moment joke I have ever had. I laughed at my own genius for ages :D

    Likely the most famous pun ever made on Reddit really is a piece of genius.
    Read from the very top to understand it.

    https://old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/cfbkx/im_85_certain_that_there_is_an_adult_actress_in/c0s6bzw/?context=10000

    The opening post will be closed because of that link so I'll post it below. The pun comes later.

    I'm 85% certain that there is an adult actress in my philosophy class.

    Probably Lexi Belle, but I don't know. Any suggestions on how I can know for sure? It would be too hard (and unethical) to take a picture and put it up here... and going up to her and saying, "Don't I know you from somewhere?" would probably be a bad idea.

    [say in a Scottish accent] What's the difference between Bing Crosby and Walt Disney? Bing sings, but Walt disnae.

    A friend challenged the American writer Dorothy Parker to come up with a sentence utilising the word 'horticulture'. Parker replied "You can lead a whore to culture but you can't make her think."

    On another occasion, Parker was in a hotel when she saw an attractive young society woman, famous for her dalliances with members of the legal profession. The woman was hobbling, having acquired a broken leg on a skiing holiday. Parker's friend said "Goodness, what happened to her?" Parker replied "She broke her leg sliding down a barrister."

    If you don't like these puns, then in the words of Groucho Marx, fine. Leave in a huff. If that's too soon then leave in a minute and a huff.

    My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned because I couldn't concentrate.

    The first computer dates back to Adam and Eve. It was an Apple with limited memory, just one byte and then everything crashed.

    I had a neck brace fitted years ago and I've never looked back since.

    About a month before he died, my uncle had his back covered in lard. After that, he went down hill fast.

    Went to the paper shop - it had blown away.

    I bought some HP sauce the other day. It's costing me 6p a month for the next 2 years.

    Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off.

    Two fish in a tank, one says to the other - you drive I'll man the guns.

    A guy walks into a pub with a lump of asphalt on His shoulder, He says to the bar man give us a pint and one for the road.

    I went to the doctors the other day and I said, 'have you got anything for wind?' So he gave me a kite.
