Fun With Puns

  1. The butcher backed into the meat grinder and got a little behind in his work.

  2. Pay your exorcist or you'll get repossessed.

  3. Did you hear about the fire at the circus? The heat was in tents.

  4. She had a photographic memory but it was never developed.

  5. We were so poor when I was growing up we couldn't even afford to pay attention.

  10. A dyslexic man walks into a bra.
