In the cat food isle there was always a Friskies brand can flavor call "Ground Kitty Stew." I' sure you all can guess the fun I had with them about that one. "Catibalism?" Needles to say, they never allowed me to buy that flavor for our cats. Almost as funny is that when our oldest got to high school and was studying biology or chemistry (can't remember which), she ran to her younger brothers and told them that catibalism was a real thing and that they too would soon be studying it. She did not tell them that the spelling--of that process--was actually catabolism. Clearly my twisted sense of humor is hereditary. Well it got passed down to our kids one way or another. But now they just groan at my dad jokes... sphinxsix, Nikhil and PYP 1 2 UpTone Audio LLC Link to comment

Popular Post sandyk Posted September 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2020 TWO PRAWNS: Two prawns were swimming around in the sea One called Justin and the other called Kristian. The prawns were constantly being harassed and threatened by sharks that inhabited the area. Finally, one day Justin said to Kristian, 'I'm fed up with being a prawn; I wish I was a shark, and then I wouldn't have any worries about being eaten.' A large mysterious cod appeared and said, 'Your wish is granted' Lo and behold, Justin turned into a shark. Horrified, Kristian immediately swam away, afraid of being eaten by his old mate. Time passed (as it does) and Justin found life as a shark boring and lonely. All his old mates simply swam away whenever he came close to them. Justin didn't realize that his new menacing appearance was the cause of his sad plight. While swimming alone one day he saw the mysterious cod again and he thought perhaps the mysterious fish could change him back into a prawn. He approached the cod and begged to be changed back, and, lo and behold, he found himself turned back into a prawn. With tears of joy in his tiny little eyes Justin swam back to his friends and bought them all a cocktail. (The punch line does not involve a prawn cocktail - it's much worse). Looking around the gathering at the reef he realized he couldn't see his old pal. 'Where's Kristian?' he asked. 'He's at home, still distraught that his best friend changed sides to the enemy & became a shark', came the reply. Eager to put things right again and end the mutual pain and torture, he set off to Kristian's abode. As he opened the coral gate, memories came flooding back. He banged on the door and shouted, 'It's me, Justin, your old friend, come out and see me again.' Kristian replied, 'No way man, you'll eat me. You're now a shark, the enemy, and I'll not be tricked into being your dinner.' Justin cried back 'No, I'm not. That was the old me. I've changed.'......... . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I'm a Prawn again Kristian' Jeff_N, One and a half and daverich4 2 1 How a Digital Audio file sounds, or a Digital Video file looks, is governed to a large extent by the Power Supply area.

It's not worse than becoming a prawn cocktail. The reference to a prawn cocktail is simply a warning to readers that the punch line is not going to be a terrible pun on prawn cocktails, but is even worse. Quote Help, I don't understand what he should be ashamed of. Puns like this are often referred to as groaners, jokes that are so bad that you should be ashamed to be telling them. Quote Perhaps it might help me understand if someone can tell me what pun this joke is telling. Thanks 🤔 The punch line is a pun on the phrase, "I've found God. I'm a born again Christian" (Cod vs God, prawn vs born). Teresa 1 "Relax, it's only hi-fi.
