A Vulture:

A vulture is flying south for the winter, but this year he decides to take an airplane.

The morning of the flight, the vulture shows up to the airport, but knowing that airplane food wouldn't be right for him, he brings a dead armadillo to snack on.

"Do you want me to check that for you?," asks the ticket clerk.

"No need," the vulture says, "it's carrion."

Prompted by an almost completely unrelated story (thanks to InstaPundit for the pointer).

Oh, my. I didn't laugh at the original joke, which I'd heard before, but I did when I followed the link and realized what had prompted it.

I actually caught my wife with an even worse one this morning:

Why didn't the melon run away with her boyfriend?

Because she was a cantaloupe.

What is the shortest distance between two puns?

A straight line.

You do realize that the perfect pun results in the death of the perpetrator?

"...knowing that airplane food wouldn't be right for him..."

Better, "knowing that the airline would charge him an exorbitant sum for a dinner..."

That would be cruel and unusual pun-ishment.

Have I mentioned lately that the internet is the pinnacle of Western civilization?

Its obvious that the prof is looking for subjects to blog about.

Given that, how about a discussion on what the Bloomberg coalition of mayors is going to do now that the New York City lawsuit against the gun makers was rejected by the US Supreme Court. I would at least like to know how much persuing this case, for all these years, cost the city and how much of that money went to groups like Brady for legal assistance.

A hypnotist was entertaining at the old folks home. Taking out a valuable and shiny antique gold watch he swung it back and forth and said, "Watch the watch, watch the watch, watch the watch, watch the wa....." Suddenly it slipped from his grasp, fell to the floor, and smashed to bits. "Oh, Crap!" he said.
Took three days to clean-up the mess.

Anderson- back in college, I actually knew someone who, knowing his girlfriend was undergoing an extremely stressful time with finals, brought her a melon, and when she asked why, he said, "too young; canteloupe."

(As a way of follow up, they're now married and have at least one child).

(Not to worry about the vulture going hungry over the winter. After all, he's admitted to the Central District of Florida.)

Thanks, Anderson. I just passed the Cucurbitaceae one along to our daughter, who became engaged one week ago and is now in high gear planning the wedding along with her mother, with some help from her sister. It is indeed another cant-alopes

Did the vulture fly south, then fly a equal distance due west, and then fly the same distance due north ... only to find himself where he had first set out?

What's the difference between a "G" spot and a golf ball?

A man will look for a golf ball.

Comment Policy: We reserve the right to edit or delete comments, and in extreme cases to ban commenters, at our discretion. Comments must be relevant and civil (and, especially, free of name-calling). We think of comment threads like dinner parties at our homes. If you make the party unpleasant for us or for others, we'd rather you went elsewhere. We're happy to see a wide range of viewpoints, but we want all of them to be expressed as politely as possible.

We realize that such a comment policy can never be evenly enforced, because we can't possibly monitor every comment equally well. Hundreds of comments are posted every day here, and we don't read them all. Those we read, we read with different degrees of attention, and in different moods. We try to be fair, but we make no promises.

And remember, it's a big Internet. If you think we were mistaken in removing your post (or, in extreme cases, in removing you) -- or if you prefer a more free-for-all approach -- there are surely plenty of ways you can still get your views out.
