Punny Q and A

•• When a new hive is done, what do the bees do? 
Have a house-swarming party, 
and give a welcome hearty. 

•• What did the duck say to the waiter? 
"Let me have my fill, 
just put it on my bill.”

•• Why is the mushroom always the hit of the party? 
 He's a real fungi, 
loves to play the pungi. 

•• Why do coffee beans have successful marriages? 
Their love is well founded, 
They keep each other grounded.

•• Why do pizza chefs work extra hard? 
The flour bed, they hoe, 
They knead the dough.

•• Why can’t you lie to the x-ray tech? 
Don't let them get to you, 
They can see right through you.

•• Why did the balloons run away from the concert? 
The reason pinned was basic, 
They were playing pop music!

•• What was the reporter doing at the ice cream shop? 
Trying to stay in the loop, 
Getting the sundae scoop!

•• What did the judge say when the skunk walked into the courtroom? 
Cut the case short! 
Odor in the court!

•• What do you call a sleeping bull? 
It's a bull-dozer, 
Don't go closer. 

•• Where does a fish keep its money? 
To be frank, 
On the river bank.

•• What kind of whale is the saddest? 
A blue whale, 
Looking pale. 

•• How does the ocean say farewell? 
It behaves 
And waves.

•• What fruit do twins like best? 
Pears! 
Equal shares! 

•• Why did the kid climb the tree to study? 
It was the best location
To get a higher education.
