(2025 UK Pun Championships) ---- Only G-Rated (and PG-rated) puns ?

[HenHanna]

I like the very last one... and this list (at the end)
suggests that the
point of this contest may be to find the BEST puns among the least
sexual , suggestive , or risqué ones .......



...... (BBC R4) ......... UK Pun championship being held in
Leicester.


Example entry: --- "Why was Henry's wife covered in tooth marks?
Because Henry's Tudor."

Will B Found's favourite puns

"My cousin lost his job at the clock factory; it's such a shame, as he
was putting in all the hours."

"Old McDonald has turned his farm into a massive corporation; he's
the E-I-CEO."

"I thought my dad was a smart guy, but I asked if he knew what an
eclipse is, and he said, 'No, son'."

"Whoever stole my copy of Microsoft Office, I will find out—you have my
Word."

Peter, if you are going to edit the messages (plural) that you are
replying to, make sure the attributions don't get screwed up. In the
above example you make it look like I posted a "Old McDonald" pun; I did
not; I posted a Pole vs a pole pun. In this case, there is no harm. This
thread is just for fun.

But there is a big "however". When one botches a serious conversation in
this manner, tempers may fly, accusations may follow, and everything bad
about USENET gets stirred up. It's certainly easier in short threads
like this one, to put the editor's pen
