A vulture boards an airplane,    carrying two dead raccoons. The Stewardess looks at him and says, &#8216;I&#8217;m sorry,    sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Two fish swim into a    concrete wall. The one turns to the other and says, &#8216;Dam!&#8217;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Two    Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft.    Unsurprisingly, it sank, proving once again that you can&#8217;t have your kayak and    heat it, too.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, &#8216;I&#8217;ve lost my    electron.&#8217;<br \/>\nThe other says, &#8216;Are you sure?&#8217; The first replies, &#8216;Yes, I&#8217;m<br \/>\npositive.&#8217;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain    during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>6. A group    of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were<br \/>\nstanding in the lobby    discussing their recent tournament victories.<br \/>\nAfter about an hour, the    manager came out of the offic e and asked them to disperse. But why they    asked, as they moved off. &#8216;Because,&#8217; he said,<br \/>\n&#8216;I can&#8217;t stand chess-nuts    boasting in an open foyer.&#8217;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>7. A woman had twins and gave them up for    adoption. One of them went to a family in Egypt, who named him Ahmal. The    other was taken in by a family in Spain; they named him Juan.<br \/>\nYears later,    Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the    picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of    Ahmal.<br \/>\nHer husband responds, &#8216;They&#8217;re twins! If you&#8217;ve seen Juan,<br \/>\nyou&#8217;ve seen Ahmal.&#8217;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>8. A group of friars were behind on their    belfry payments, so they opened a small florist shop to raise funds. Since    everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town    thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down,    but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored    him.<br \/>\nSo, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most    vicious thug in town to &#8216;persuade&#8217; them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and    trashed their store, saying he&#8217;d be back if they didn&#8217;t close up shop.    Terrified, they did so&#8230;. thereby<br \/>\nproving that only Hugh can prevent    florist friars.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Mahatma Gandhi , as you know, walked barefoot most    of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also    ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he    suffered from bad breath. This made him (Get ready&#8230;)) a super calloused    fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>10. And, finally, there was the    person who sent ten different puns to friends, with the hope that at least one    of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OMG, this will make you groan&#8230; Make sure you get down to #9.
