I once worked at a lumber mill. My job was to walk or move with heavy
clumsiness.

lum-ber v. To walk or move with heavy clumsiness.
I was employed at a place where this lumber was milled.
It's a double entendre on the word "Lumber", therefore.

Gee, I hope this joke is funny now. Maybe you all think my puns are
too, umm, obscure or not even funny. I try to hit a range of topics
and use several styles.

*Actually, I did work at a lumber mill in 1973 that bucked up and cut
planks of redwood in California. :)

The owner was a tramp. Someone called the copse. I saw it all.

A panel was brought in to crosscut-examine the witness (a real stud, and
quite board by the proceedings); but when it came time to post the results,
they were stumped.

I played poker with a man who worked in a lumber mill. I had two pairs, but he
had four trees.

That's nothing...being a veteran lumber mill worker, my friends called me
lefty. Of course, when we all played poker, everybody had better hands than
I did.

I'm knot-holely sure what he means either. Maybe he got some big red-wood
pregnant, and she had a boy and is charging him with tree son.

The hurricane that hit a used car lot yesterday, was called Apache

Did the mill have its own plod of land from which to harvest clumps of

The owner was a tramp. Someone called the copse. I saw it all.
