I didn't like my beard at first. Then it grew on me.

Broken pencils are pointless.

They are known as "Oxymorons." Examples : open secret, Good grief,
Really very hilarious play on words! Especially the Typo-O bit!! :laugh:

Here's another hilarious one:

A boy was bagging groceries at a supermarket. One day the store installed a machine for squeezing fresh orange juice. Intrigued, the young man asked if he could be allowed to work the machine, but his request was denied. Said the store manager, "Sorry, kid, but baggers can't be juicers." :laugh: :laugh:
Another favorite one of mine

Two robins are lying on their backs, soaking up some sun.

A Mama cat and her kitten come walking by.
The kitten complains, "Mama, I'm sooo hungry, what can we eat?"
The Mama cat, spying the 2 birds replies, "How about some baskin' robins?" :laugh: :laugh:

Hahahha... that was very good indeed.

I guess we have mistakes like the one article usha ji had shared with us ( does Indians have humor? article)

some more stacked in my mind:

  • I stepped on a Cornflake, and now I am a cereal killer
  • Success is a relative term. It brings so many relatives.
  • A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

my favourite one:
"It is possible to have a conjunction between two conjunctions or two prepositions such as with and and, and and and, and and and along with without breaking the rules of grammar."

What's the difference between roast beef and pea soup? Anyone can roast beef but nobody can pee soup!

I bet the butcher $50 that he couldn't reach the meat off the top shelf. He said, "No, the steaks are too high."
