I realize that they can be dangerous, but the pen is said to be mightier then the sword?

The problem is that banning them is not going to stop puncrime.

Puns don't kill people!

People kill people.

Only when the pen is used to order the machine-gun before meeting the man with the sword.

My brother bragged that he was a "Guardian of the Galaxy".

He works in a Samsung store.

I've just started a new business selling breathable helium.

My customers all speak very highly of it.

My first girlfriend told me she was leaving me because I keep pretending to be Optimus Prime.

I said, "No, wait! I can change!"

I believe in puns, but we need to have some regulation. For instince, edgy, rapid-fire puns can cause serious damage to fragile, sensitive personalities.

Love a good pun! :lol:

Last night, I dreamed I was swimming in an ocean of orange soda. But it was just a Fanta sea ...

Why was the former conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic always first off the plane? Because he only had Karajan luggage.

Why did the pirate buy a Pavarotti album? Because he loved the high Cs.

I just lost my job as a psychic.  I did not see that coming.

I loved being a maze designer.  I got completely lost in my work.

Inspecting mirrors is a job I could really see myself doing.

I think my job interview to be a bug sorter went well.  I boxed all the right ticks.

My best job was being a musician, but eventually, I found I wasn't noteworthy.

I studied a long time to become a doctor, but I didn't have any patients.

I became a professional fisherman but discovered that I couldn't live on my net income.

Thought about becoming a witch, so I tried that for a spell.

I managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company, but the work was just too draining.

I got a job at a zoo feeding giraffes but I was fired because I wasn't up to it.

Next, I found being an electrician interesting, but the work was shocking.

After many years of trying to find steady work, I finally got a job as a historian until I realized there was no future in it.

I applied for a job in Australia but seems I don't have the right koalifications.

I had a job at the orange juice company.  I got fired because I couldn't concentrate.

I used to be a postman until I got the sack.

I worked at the bank as a teller for a while; until I starting losing interest.

I wanted to be a baker, really kneaded the dough.

I focused on being a photographer, but nothing ever developed.

I wanted to be a barber, but I just couldn't cut it.

Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the ax.

After that, I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it.  Mainly because it was a so-so job.

Next, I tried working in a muffler factory but that was exhausting.

Then I tried to be a chef–figured it would add a little spice to my life but I just didn't have the thyme.

Finally, I attempted to be a deli worker, but any way I sliced it, I couldn't cut the mustard.

What's the definition of perfect pitch? When you throw a banjo in the bin and it lands on an accordion.
