Joke of the day

18 01 2013

So who will be the first disc jockey to play today’s Song of the Day, in honor of Notre Dame’s Manti Te’o?

The song, of course, would be an oldie goldie from 1978:

“Imaginary Lover” by Atlanta Rhythm Section.

H/T to our news editor, Peter Vieth…



Hurts so good

5 03 2012

Confession: I’m a sucker for puns and wordplay. A colleague sent me one of those lists that periodically makes the rounds on the Internet…jokes that are so bad they’re good.

My wife and I visited our son at college this weekend and he had one:

How can you tell the train has been through here?
You can see its tracks.

Clearly the fruit didn’t fall far from the tree. Enjoy the list:

Writing with a broken pencil is . . . pointless.

A thief who stole a calendar . . . got twelve months.

A dentist and a manicurist got married. .. . . They fought tooth and nail.

A will is a . . . dead giveaway.

If you don’t pay your exorcist . . . you can get repossessed.

You are stuck with your debt if . . . you can’t budge it.

A boiled egg is . . . hard to beat.

When you’ve seen one shopping center . . . you’ve seen a mall.

Police were called to a day care where a 3-year-old was . . . resisting a rest.

When a clock is hungry . . . it goes back four seconds.

When she saw her first strands of gray hair, . . . she thought she’d dye.

I couldn’t find the source of this list when I tried to research it, but I did find that on Twitter, the hashtag “#punny” will turn up more of the same.

Example: If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?
