This is my favorite pun of all time:
Roy Rogers was riding home from the boot shop when his trusty steed, Trigger, froze in his tracks.
A couple of yards away, at their two o'clock, was a mountain lion crouching on a rock alongside the trail, prepared to pounce.
Roy tugged on the reins, and Trigger obediently turned away from the mountain lion -- Roy and the cat were eye to eye, about six feet apart.
The wild cat took a leap and knocked Roy right out of his saddle, and they wrestled in the dirt. Roy eventually knocked out the mountain lion, but not before it had bitten unsightly gouges in both of Roy's brand-new boots.
He sighed. He lifted the unconscious beast and draped it over Trigger's rear end. Then he got back in the saddle and continued home.
His dear wife, Dale Evans, was there at the gate of their homestead as he and Trigger approached. She took a look at Roy's boots and then at the lifeless mountain lion with leather fragments in its teeth, and she sang ...
"Pardon me, Roy -- is that the cat that chewed your new shoes?"
For those who don't get it:
Pardon me boy, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo? |
