TALKING ABOUT HUMOUR
















Cartoons : )



Riddles : )
"The beginning of eternity
The end of time and space
The beginning of every end,
And the end of every place."
Letter "e"
What is the poorest bank in the world?
The river bank.
Why shouldn't you lose your temper?
No one else wants it.
Puns :D
A pun is a little word game, playing with language. Most puns use a word that has two meanings, or use two words that sound almost the same. For example, the title of this exercise contains a pun. "PUNS Upon a Time" sounds like "ONCE upon a time."
Example: Why is an empty purse always the same? Because there is never any change in it. In this pun, the word "change" has two meanings: 1. coins and small bills, 2. alteration.
1. Do you know why it’s easy for a hunter to find a leopard? Because a leopard is always spotted.
2.Did you hear about the Frenchman who jumped off the Eiffel Tower wearing a parachute and landed in the river? The police didn’t arrest him because he was clearly in Seine.
3.The principal called the young cross-eyed teacher into his office. "I’m sorry to say, Ms. Jones, we’re going to have to let you go." "But why, sir? I thought I was doing a good job." "It’s simple," said the principal, "you can’t control your pupils."
