Sorry for the let down, but we're doing literary puns, not sexual innuendo. At least, not unless your innuendo and out the other. Maybe Dickens, for example.

Okay, enough of that. It's just a stage I'm going through. The play's the sting.

It was the best of puns, it was the worst of puns...

And something's not quite write...

This doesn't really apply, but one of my students once asked why Brutus in "Julius Caesar" was standing in his orchid to give his soliloquy. He meant "orchard". Maybe he grew orchids there? [Smile]

To pee, or not to pee: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The pains and pressures of bursting bladder,
Or to drop trou to make a sea of urine,
And by relieving end them?

A prostitute offers her clients a special herbal drink that enhances sexual pleasure. It's so rare that it has to be carried down from the mountains by burro.

It's her donkey ho tea.

The tomato pickers were required to fill their wicker containers each day in order to receive their wage. One day, someone's dog got into chuck wagon and ate everyone's lunch. The culprit?

The Hound of the Basket Fillers.

They've decided to publish the day-day charts and ship's logs of the Mayflower's trip to Plymouth. It'll be called "Pilgrim's Progress."

This guy came into my cafe the other day and asked how I served my coffee. So I told him,

"You can have it any way as you like it, sir?"

an albatross and a penguin walk into a bar.

the bartender says "what'll you have?"

the albatross goes "got any longnecks?"

the bartender wipes the countertop and eyes the penguin.

"whatever the old man is having," shrugs the penguin.

I was answering the phone for Mr Empire's secretary whilst she went for lunch the other day when Mr Anfall rang. As he was on holiday she'd told me to tell people he'd ring back next week. When she got back she asked who had rung and I told her:

De client Anfall of the roamin' Empire
