    It’s hard to explain puns to kleptomaniacs because they always take things literally.

    The other day my husband said that he felt Orion's Belt was a waist of space.

    I only gave him three stars for the bad pun.

    Trump was asked if he believes in free will. "Everyone should pay for it. No more handouts!" he exclaimed.

    There is a kinky new fad sweeping the nation: Alphabet bondage.

    It will leave you spellbound.

    The jockey was riding the favourite at a race meeting, and was well ahead of the field.
    His horse rounded the final corner, when suddenly the jockey was hit on the head by a turkey and a string of sausages.
    He managed to keep control of his mount and pulled back into the lead, only to be struck by a box of Christmas crackers and a dozen mince pies as he went over the last fence.
    With great skill he managed to steer the horse to the front of the field once more when, on the run in, he was struck on the head by a bottle of sherry and a Christmas pudding. Thus distracted, he succeeded in coming only second.
    He immediately went to the race stewards to complain that he had been seriously hampered.

    That joke doesn't translate? Hampered?

    I wish you Brits would learn to speak English.

    I went to the doctor today. My appointment was at 3. I didn't get in until 3:30. So I sent him a bill for 30 minutes of my time.

    [a friend actually did this]

    Gave my cat a bath.

    It'll take a week to get all of the hair off of my tongue.

    "he was struck on the head by a bottle of sherry and a Christmas pudding"

    Oh well. It's like my physics jokes. I tell the joke and then offer a class afterwards to explain the joke.

    It was actually for something more like two hours. I remember him billing the doctor for $100 a hour. And no, he never paid. But it was funny.

    My sister in law ( radiologist) tried that one with the power company after they missed several appointments to read her inaccessible meter and she didn't win either.

    We don't have meter readers here.

    We use yard readers.
