There is nothing like a bad history pun….

For years I have collected, written and reworked puns. Some people do needle point, some collect stamps, some build toy airplanes – I collect bad jokes; much to the chagrin of everyone I know. Below are a few examples of the awful humor. Warning – none of them are any good, but some of them are funny.

1. Why were the early days of history called the Dark Ages? Because there were so many knights!
2. What kind of lighting did Noah use for the Ark? Floodlights!
3. As a young boy, Brutus’ mother often cautioned him not to run with Caesers.
4. The ancient Japanese leader lost his legs in a logging accident and became a sawed-off Shogun.
5. I’m desperately trying to establish why Kamikaze pilots wore helmets.
6. A grenade thrown into a kitchen in France would result in Linoleum Blownapart.
7. Ancient orators tend to Babylon.
8. In ancient times, seagoing vessels were much more fuel efficient. They got thousands of miles to a galleon.
9. The study of ancient symbols will lead you to rune.
10. The journalist went to Greece to see the ancient city and is now writing several commons abut them.

Told you they were awful but you didn’t believe me…….
