Firing the man in charge of the wind tunnel made him disgusted.
They replaced him with Amos and Andy, who were regusted.

I hope I'm not the only one old enough to get that one.

A fired Macdonald’s manager is disenfranchised

A vampire would be decrypted

We once printed an 11-month calendar and the boss was dismayed

An unruly oysterman would be subject to disclamation

A poor quilter would be discomforted

A Royal Family member in exile could be discounted

Nixon nominated Carswell for the Supreme Court but he was disappointed

A bad French chef would be let go for a baking discrepancy

The bank refused to give me a loan since I was discredited

The contestant asking for too many letters on Wheel of Fortune led to his disavowal

“This is a wonderful meat dish,” said the cannibal whole-heartedly

A plumber would be discommoded

The major transgressors have sinned,
and, not yet blown away by the wind,
endure deprefixation;
as a manifestation,
they are from the oleum linned.

I'm running dry here.

If you can remove a king, is he desirable?
And if he cannot be removed, is he undesirable?

History gives little credit to Jeremiah Johnson, who may have been America's first postman. At least no one ever complained about his delivery.

To All Who Went Before Me:

My sincerest apologies if I re-used words that others had already punned upon. I never noticed there was another page until a few minutes ago. I could blame my aging eyes but that wouldn't be true.


Unfortunately, from my point of view, all those other puns were better than mine, too.

I am totally disgraced!

Damn! That's already been used twice.

Depressingly, someone run over by a steam roller cannot be depressed.

If you fire a female botanist, is she deflowered?

While a male undergoing a sex change is dismantled, he (she) is also disjointed. (a repeat, but in another sense)

Is a demon's butt the same as an impasse?

A fired portrait photographer is defaced.

My friend overheard her ten-year-old son praying "Give us this day our jelly bread.
(True story)

Another that I like but can't verify ... the preacher overheard his son, together with his ten-year-old friends, having a funeral for a dead bird .... "Glory be to the Father, and to the Son , into the hole he goes."

(original official version says, "and to the Holy Ghost")

This might interest you, Jerry.

A man visited relatives in Texas and went with them to see their church's Christmas pageant. He was surprised to note that all the participants weree dressed in traditional Biblical garb except the Three Wise Men. They were wearing fireman's hats.

On the way home, he asked his relative about the hats.

"Why, boy," she said. "That there's all part of the Bible story. Don't you New Yorkers know anythang?"

"I'm sorry," he said, "but it don't recall anything like that mentioned in the Bible."

His relative opened her Good Book and pointed to the passage, reading aloud, "... and the Three Wise Men came from afar . . . "

Thanks, Proofreader.

That's a new and valuable addition to the Collection. As the Innkeeper in Bethlehem was fond of saying, "HOW WAS I TO KNOW?"

Another long-concealed part of the story is ..... one of those Wise Men (his Fireman's Helmet temporarily shoved aside) happened to step on a rake that had been left, tines up, on the floor. The handle of the rake come up and whopped him between the eyes and he shouted, "Jesus Christ!"

Whereupon the young couple, who had been discussing what to name the kid, agreed that that name had a nice ring to it. Amen.

And it came to pass that as that same young man was wandering the countryside preaching, he came upon a young woman about to be stoned for adultery. And he said unto the crowd, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
And a large rock hurtled over their heads and smashed the woman in the face.
And he turned and said, "I thought I told you to knock that stuff off, Ma."

After his funeral coach broke down, the undertaker had to rehearse.

Following her mastectomy, the film starlet was repaired.

This variation on the "man walks into a bar" theme, either goes over well, or not at all, depending on the audience:

Jesus Christ walks into a motel, throws some nails onto the counter, and asks, "Can you put me up for the night?"

They removed the booths from the turnpike so the road is now extolled.

While trying to think of another word, I remembered a portion of an old joke about the man who was trying to have a child. But it didn't work and he told his buddies his wife was impregnable. But one buddy said she was inconceivable. There was a third term which I can't remember and it's driving me crazy. Who knows what it was?
