Groaner Puns

From a forwarded email.

Scientifically, a raven has 17 primary wing feathers, the big ones at the end of the wing are called pinion feathers. A crow has 16. So, the difference between a raven and a crow is only a matter of a pinion.

I tried to come up with a carpentry pun that woodwork. I thought I nailed it but nobody saw it.

My Car is a COW

COW- Computer on Wheels

I bought a new car last year. The car is reliable, the electronics are not.The first time I left the car sitting for a week while we were on vacation, the radio worked fine when I turned it on in the morning. In the afternoon, the radio had no sound in either FM or SXM mode. I turned the car on and off several times but nothing prompted the radio sound to work. I got home and the car set for about 20 minutes before I took it out to get gas. Sitting the 20 minutes allowed the car to reboot so that the electronics worked.

The next time we went on vacation, all of the electronics worked when I first turned it on. When I went to go home, I got a notice that the emergency response was not working. This concerned me more than the earlier problem with the lack of sound in the radio. I took it to the dealership the next morning. (After the car set all night, the emergency response no longer showed the not working sign.) The dealership could not find any problem with the electronics but reset the system hoping that this would clear up the problem. They also sent me a lovely video showing the complete outside of the car. This made no sense because it was an electronics problem and not a problem with the exterior.

Irregularly the sound on the radio will still not come on, unless I stop the car for several minutes (going in for lunch seems to be enough time the system to reboot itself upon restarting the car.) I thought I had resolved the radio problem by not turning it on until the navigation map appears in the car, but that tweak is not as reliable as turning the car completely off long enough for the systems to reboot themselves.

I used to be a systems librarian where the first thing the help desk would ask me was ”Did you reboot the computer?” In fairness to the Geeks, you had to turn off the computer, do a slow count to 10 before turning it back on. Hitting restart, rather than off, w-a-i-t-i-n-g about 10 second and then turning it on, usually did not reboot the system. Guess my COW has the same philosophy.

“So you’re 96,” the undertaker commented.   
She responded, “Hardly worth going home, is it?”

by the time I got my leotards on,
the class was over.
 
#6

The mirror told her
that her mind
was lying.
Maybe she needed
a better pair of glasses.

The Easter Bunny

 
A man is driving along a highway
and sees a rabbit jump out across
the middle of the road.
He swerves to avoid hitting it, but unfortunately, the rabbit jumps
right in front of the car.
The driver, being a sensitive man
as well as an animal lover, pulls
over and gets out to see what has become of the rabbit.
Much to the man’s dismay, he
discovers the rabbit is the
Easter Bunny
and that he is now DEAD!
The man feels so awful that he
begins to cry right there on the road.
A beautiful blonde woman driving
down the highway sees the man
crying on the side of the road and
pulls over.
 
She steps out of the car and asks
the man what’s wrong.
“I feel terrible!”, he explains, “I accidentally hit the Easter Bunny
with my car and KILLED him!”
The blonde says,”Don’t worry!”
She runs to her car and pulls out
a spray can. She walks over to the
limp, dead Easter Bunny, bends
down, and sprays the contents all
over him.
The Easter Bunny jumps up, waves
his paw at the two of them, and hops
off down the road.
Ten feet away he stops, turns around and waves again. Then he hops down
the road another 10 feet, turns and waves, hops another 10 feet, turns
and waves, and repeats this again
and again and again and again until
he hops clear out of sight. 
The man is astonished! He runs over
to the woman and demands, “What
is in that can? What did you spray
on the Easter Bunny?”
The woman turns the can around
so that the man can read the label.
It says..

(Are you ready for this?)
(You know you’re gonna be sorry.)

(Last chance…)
(Ok, here it is…..)
It says…
 
 
“Hair Spray”
Restores life to dead hair,
and adds a permanent wave.

(I tried to warn you!)
HappyEaster!
