Pun Fun
A pun is defined by Webster as "the humorous use of a word, or of words which are formed or sounded alike but have different meanings, in such a way as to play on two or more of the possible applications; a play on words."
Here’s a list of some funny puns I found:
To write with a broken pencil is pointless.
Talking to her about computer hardware I make my mother board.
He drove his expensive car into a tree and found out how the Mercedes bends.
I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.
A grenade thrown into a kitchen in France would result in Linoleum Blownapart.
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
A bicycle can't stand on its own because it is two-tired.
When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds.
Buying a cheap mouse could leave you with a squeak and a sad tale.
Those who jump off a Paris bridge are in Seine.
A student limped into class with a lame excuse.
The couple who met in a revolving door are still going round together.
She was given a violin lesson for free, with no strings attached.
He was a restaurant critic but had no taste.
Thirsty jokers can be seen waiting in the punch line.

Oz-It’s ok Oz. I’ll do my best to explain this pun to you. I’ll start by explaining the tricky words:
Kalla: means to be tired and exhausted
Matni: means back or body
3ila sabri: means to lose patience
So the literal translation of the pun would be:
I knocked at the door till I became tired, once I became tired, she spoke to me and said: Oh Ismail have patience! So I told her: Oh Assma I have lost all my patience!
As you can see the Arabic pun is much more beautiful than my bad translation! But I hope you understand it now.
Anonymous- Thank you for your comment although I have no Idea what’s it supposed to mean.

Reader-Thanks for stopping by my blog. When I first started blogging I didn't know one could use arabic characters, and since I had already started out in English I chose to continue in the same language. Maybe when I have more time I'll start a blog in Arabic...
