Some of the worst puns I ever read

So the barman says .....

A jump-lead walks into a bar. The barman says "I'll serve you, but don't start anything."

A white horse walks into a bar. The barman asks "Why the long face?"

A woman walks into a bar and asks the barman for a double entendre. So he gave her one.

A man walks into a bar with a roll of tarmac under his arm and says: "Pint please, and one for the road."

A man walks into a bar with a roll of GREEN tarmac under his arm and says: "Pint please, and one for the road." The barman says "I'll serve you, but your mate's barred - he's a bloody cycle-path!"

A man walks into a pub, goes up to the bar "Pint of best" he says to the bar man. Whilst waiting for his drink he spots Vincent Van Gogh sitting at one of the tables. He goes up to him and asks "Are you Vincent Van Gogh?" "Yes" the old man replies. "Do you want a pint?" "No, ta. I've got one 'ere."

A man walks into a bar and orders a beer. Whilst drinking his beer, he heard a soothing voice say "that's a nice tie". Looking around he noticed that the bar was empty except for himself and the barman at the other end of the bar. A few sips later the same voice says "what a beautiful shirt". A few more minutes pass by and he hears "and your suit is immaculate". At this, he calls to the barman "I must be losing my mind, I keep hearing these voices saying nice things, but there's not a soul in here but us." "It's the peanuts ..." explained the barman "... they're complimentary."

These are even worse .....

Worse still (if that's possible) .....

"Because," he said, "I can't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer."

There was a man who entered a local paper's pun contest. He sent in ten different puns, in the hope that at least one of the puns would win. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.

Big finale .....

Two explorers are lost in the Sahara desert. They're desperate for water, but just as they think they're about to die, they chance upon a village where market day is in full swing. They go to the first stall they see and ask if they can buy some water. "No," replies the Bedouin stall owner, "I only sell fruit. Try the next stall." So off they go to the next stall and again they ask for water. "Sorry," says the merchant, "But I only sell custard." By now desperate, they go to the next stall, only to be told, "Sorry, but I only sell jelly." Hearing this, one of the explorers turns to the other and says, "This is a trifle bazaar."

As migration approached, two elderly vultures doubted they could make the trip south, so they decided to go by aircraft. When they checked their baggage, the attendant noticed that they were carrying two dead raccoons. "Do you wish to check the raccoons through as luggage?" she asked. "No, thanks," replied the vultures. "They're carrion."

A 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.

If you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal."

I saved the best one for last .....

After Quasimodo's death, the bishop of the cathedral of Notre Dame sent word through the streets of Paris that a new bellringer was needed. The bishop decided that he would conduct the interviews personally and went up into the belfry to begin the screening process After observing several applicants demonstrate their skills, he decided to call it a day when a lone, armless man approached him announced that he was there to apply for the bellringer's job. The bishop was incredulous. "You have no arms!" "No matter," said the man, "Observe!" He then began striking the bells with his face, producing a beautiful melody on the carillon. The bishop listened in astonishment, convinced that he had finally found a suitable replacement for Quasimodo. Suddenly, rushing forward to strike a bell, the armless man tripped, and plunged headlong out of the belfry window to his death in the street below. The stunned bishop rushed to his side. When he reached the street, a crowd had gathered around the fallen figure, drawn by the beautiful music they had heard only moments before. As they silently parted to let the bishop through, one of them asked, "Bishop, who was this man?" "I don't know his name," the bishop sadly replied, "but his face rings a bell."

wait, not finished yet ...

The following day, despite the sadness that weighed heavily on his heart due to the unfortunate death of the armless campanologist, the bishop continued his interviews for the bellringer of Notre Dame. The first man to approach him said, "Your Excellency, I am the brother of the poor, armless wretch who fell to his death from this very belfry yesterday. I pray that you honour his life by allowing me to replace him in this duty." The bishop agreed to give the man an audition, and as the armless man's brother bent down to pick up a mallet to strike the first bell, he groaned, clutched at his chest and died on the spot. Two monks, hearing the bishop's cries of grief at this second tragedy, rushed up the stairs to his side. "What has happened?" the first asked breathlessly. "Who is this man?" "I don't know his name," sighed the distraught bishop, "but he's a dead ringer for his brother."

..... well I did warn you!
