From Wikipedia :
- The pun is a form of word play which exploits numerous meanings of a statement, allowing it to be understood in multiple ways for an intended humorous effect.
- A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line.

I'm quite a fan of word playing and oneliner jokes, which are different kinds of humor than a normal joke, so therefor I created a topic of its own for it.

Examples :
Atheism is a non-prophet institution.
I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down.
I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.
Did you hear about the guy whose whole left side was cut off? He's all right now.
I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.
Black Beauty, He was a dark horse.

I love puns! I was thinking of doing a thread like this yesterday. I was listening to Radio 5-Live yesterday and they were interviewing a guy who worked for The Sun, talking about how they come with the headlines.

My favourite was from the 80s during Thatcher's time as Prime Minister. The tories were axing a lot of government Quangos (sort of advisory bodies I believe) and it had something to do with Wales.

The headline read "Last Quango in Powys"

Genius :)

Demetri Martin is good for a one-liner. Here are a few:

Saying ‘I’m sorry’ is the same as saying ‘I apologize.’ Except at a funeral.

Some jokes are short and elegant, like a mathematical proof or a midget in a ballgown.

The worst time to have a heart attack is during a game of charades.

I used to play sports. Then I realized you can buy trophies. Now I’m good at everything.

Not really based on puns though. . .

some husband & wife short jokes :

- If being married teaches you one thing, it's thinking long enough over the words you eventually don't say.
- My wife says I never listen to her. At least, that's what I think she said.
- A shrink asks you a lot of expensive questions that your wife asks for free.
- Men talk to women to sleep with them, while women sleep with men to talk to them.
- If your husband has trouble falling asleep, just whisper "I feel we should discuss our relationship."
- If you want to impress other women, just tell them what you don't want other men to tell your wife.

Slept at a hotel, the pillows and sheets were in a wardrobe- Worst night sleep i ever had!

I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather.. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.

I dressed up as a Mall Santa, had a kid on my lap, asked me if i could cure his cancer. So i blew him up, No more cancer.

Quasi-autonomous non-governmental organizations. (Thanks to that brilliant BBC comedy "Yes, Minister" for that one.)
