Because my friends and family know that I enjoy good ones and make bad ones, they periodically send me collections of them. Here is one set I received recently:

This girl said she recognized me from the vegetarian club, but I’d never met herbivore.
When chemists die, apparently they barium.
I’m reading a book about anti-gravity. I just can’t put it down.
I did a theatrical performance about puns. It was a play on words.
I didn’t like my beard at first. Then it grew on me.

Broken pencils are pretty much pointless.

What does the haemorrhoid-afflicted author of Wuthering Heights have in common with the Natural History Museum? A Brontë sore arse.
I skimmed through the first half of those puns to see if any of them would make me laugh.
Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.
*groan*
Tee hee!
Good evening Mano,
My dad is notorious for sending me Internet jokes, funny pictures and puns.

The blind man picked up the hammer and saw.
One of my favorites as a kid.

You should learn Dutch; you will become a huge fan of Fons Jansen and Herman Finkers. Alas puns are extremely hard to translate, but I have found those:
FJ: it needs courage to believe in your own doubts.

I found a praying mantis in my house. I was going to put it in the compost pile, cause hey, plenty of bugs to eat, it’s warm, she’ll love it!
Then I thought, “What am I, crazy? This is a non-compost mantis!”
Very punny!
No matter how far you push the envelope, it remains stationary.
