HUMOR Digest - 17 Mar 1998 to 18 Mar 1998
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 1998 03:41:15 -0500
From: Jim Moore Jr
Subject: Joke Writing 101
There's been a comeback of the pun on the Net. The credit (or blame) can be attributed to one of our own contributors Mr. Stan Kegel. But there's an obscure form of the pun called a "degenerative pun" that's fun too. Start with a simple statement, then go from there:
(and, we're off...)
Why was "Ivanhoe" banned in the US ?
Too much Saxon violence
Why did the NFL ban macho razor blade commercials ?
Too much Schicks and virulence
Why did the woman hate VapoRub & not talking for laryngitis ?
Too much Vicks and silence
Why did the woman quit dying her curtains for 27 windows ?
Too much soaks and valances
Why was the chip dipping, potato chip eating optician fired ?
Too much snacks and vile lenses
Why did the Lord of the Manor punish the surly Serfs ?
Too much sulks and villeins
Why did the orchestra leader quit ?
Too much sax and violins
