If when you're talking along in class and you make a bad pun, that's a
completely different matter - you just don't have time to thumb thru
a reference and "come up" with them.

Now for the obligatory joke:
A fisherman from Maine went to Alabama on his vacation. He rented a boat,
rowed out to the middle of the lake, and cast his line, but when he looked
down into the water he was horrified to see a man wrapped in chains lying
on the bottom of the lake. He quickly rowed to shore and ran to the police
station. "Sheriff, sheriff," he gasped, there's a guy wrapped in chains,
drowned in the lake!"
"Now ain't that jest like a Yankee," drawled the sheriff, "to steal
more chain than he can swim with?"

The next one is quite old and "Offensive to Dave Bloom (rot13)"

You already told it. I can't believe that anyone has to look in any book
to think of the quality of puns I've seen here. People are in sad shape if
they do. (I don't care, I like 'em anyway.)
Better go back to making cookies... :-)

Now for the obligatory addition to the pun chain. . . .

At least we're all being discrete about it. . . .
