Here is a Limerick I remember from the first page of a RAH juvenile I read "several" years ago.
I think it went something like this:

There once was a Lady named Bright
Who could travel much faster than light.
She left one day
In a relative way.
And came home the preceding night.

Here is the oldest pun I remember. I didn't invent it, I just remember it from about 1969.



What is two thirds of a pun?

The funding for SETI is vexing
With a lack of solutions perplexing
But on the horizon
They're hoping Verizon
Can setup unlimited texting.

When I was little, my mom used to feed me alphabet soup, claiming I loved it.....
I didn't really, she was just putting words in my mouth.....

A truck containing 12 tons of 'Vicks' Vapo Rub has shed its load on I-40 westbound.
Police have released a statement confirming that there will be no congestion for 12 hours!

I went to buy some bolts in my local hardware shop.
Chap asked; "How long do you want them?"
I said "I was hoping to keep them."

Oh, yes please. As long as I can ration them so they don't start making my belly hurt from laughing then I want "more" :)

My car broke down so I looked under the hood and saw a bat sitting on the engine.

The bat said "Hello. You're a handsome fellow and very nicely dressed too".

I could see the problem...

......... bat flattery

People think I'm weird because I swallowed an Abacus.

It's what's inside that counts.

I bought a pair of spider silk trousers last week. They look great, but the flies keep getting stuck.
