Off topic: Pun For The Road

Mark Padgett

Since it's the off season and the board is slow, I thought we could see who could come up with the best basketball related pun. Here's mine:

My friend needed to sneeze, but I pinched his nose so he couldn't. We marked it down as a "blocked snot attempt".

I'll even accept FEEBLE attempts (get it? it's another pun) 😛

Since my Yo Momma jokes obviously didn't go over too well...

What kind of ship would an indecisive basketball referee be the captain of?

A blarge.

Thank you, I'll be here all week. Try the veal. 😀

One more...

What do you call a chicken that is a friend of yours?

A personal fowl.

I suppose my last joke was a bit too off color for this board. Odd, considering some of the stuff I've seen around here.

Hmmmmm, one for the kids......

What do you call a chicken running across a basketball court?

A charging fowl.

I liked your other one, personally. 😮

What do you call a sweet smelling foul?

Thanks a lot, Mark...

What do you call a chicken that graduated from MIT?

I once officiated a game on an outdoor court. It had a tree-point line. 😛

Maybe you just need to act like a tree, and leaf.

Or put an egg in your shoe, and beat it.

Perhaps you should act like a hockey player and get the puck outta here.

(Dang it! It's like quicksand - it just sucks you in...)

Or as Young Biff says in Back To The Future, Part 2, "Why don't you make like a tree, [dramatic pause] and get outta here."

At which point, Old Biff smacks Young Biff on the head and says, "Leave! It's make like a tree and leave, you idiot!"

I thought that was one of the better lines in the movie.

My kids didn't get it, though.

...sigh...I guess I didn't raise them right.

Well, I read the first 10 posts with puns (posts #5 and #12 do not contain a pun) hoping that one of them would tickle my funny bone. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.

Extra points for that one, Bob, although you misspelled FEEBLE. 😀

If one of the NBA's Nets changes his shirt at halftime, is he then wearing a New Jersey new jersey? 😕

No, he's wearing a new New Jersey jersey. And, if the player was Yo Yo Ma, who has the nickname Yo Mama, it would be Yo Yo "Yo Mama" Ma's new New Jersey jersey.

Oh oh, my my. (Sorry, mick.)

Bob, I'm afraid it's official (so to speak) - you now need some of Padgett's meds. Badly.
