One cutting edge aquarium saved a lot of money when its owner discovered a means to make the dolphins live forever

[Zhang Fei]

One cutting edge aquarium saved a lot of money when its owner discovered a means to make the dolphins live forever -- since the dolphins never died, no money needed to be spent on buying new ones. Extending the dolphins' lives required putting a special mixture into their food; one of the ingredients was baby sea gull meat. So one day, one of the workers was sent to the beach to find some. On the way back, baby sea gulls in hand, he had to pass through a forest. In the middle of the path was a sleeping lion. He very carefully stepped over it, only to be handcuffed by a policeman.

"Officer," he said, "what's going on?"

"You're under arrest," said the policeman.

"But why?" he asked.

The policeman replied, "For transporting young gulls across sedate lions for immortal porpoises."

The rare triple pun!

Excellent!

And remember: If puns are outlawed, only outlaws will have puns!

The variant I'd heard uses coal miners and hookers as the theme of the shaggy dog intro. And ends with "For transporting miners across sedate lions for immoral porpoises."

Love puns! Like the "Is that the cat that chewed your new shoes," and "the furry with the syringe on top." More please....

The way I heard it, the porpoises ate myna birds and the punchline was, “transporting mynas across sedated lions” :)

SEAGULLS...STOP IT NOW!

The rare triple pun!

Questions: Are Puns counted by the phrase or the word?

If counted by the word, would this be a Quintuple Pun?

I had a whale of a good time reading that.

Don’t quit your day job.... unless of course your day job is being a comedian.

First heard that one from a friend whose brother was starting law school ... in 1984. The variant I heard managed to work the Mann Act into the punchline.
