"General Skunkvomit's army is behind this ridge.
General Valiant's coming up the valley..."

"So.....we are to surround Skunkvomit?"

"No! He's *our* side."

"But that name!"

"An alias, designed to strike terror in enemy hearts."

"Their stomachs won't be in great shape either."

"The doctor is waiting for you," said the elephant in a kimono.

"I've never had a cuckoo as a psychiatrist before," I observed.

"This is a dream."

The doctor had ancient Roman busts and a clock that said
"Donald Trump" every hour.

A black smiley - pony and a white smiley - pony are standing in a field, ruminating.

Suddenly one of them says: - Is it not terrible how people have prejudices about us hoofed animals?

- Indeed, says the other. - It is actually enough to make you vomit

"Hurricane Noah?" Zeb scoffed, scooping seeds from a pumpkin.
"At worst it'll bring some rain. Tomorrow's pumpkin race
won't be affected."

Heavy rains began as the race started. Then the reservoir dam broke.

200 pumpkin boats were last seen floating at sea.

The Thinker, the owner of an adorable cat called Simba

Bob the bobcat for a bet bobbed up and down wearing a bob styled wig to the delight of his animal friends who cheered him on. He was rewarded for this wager with a five bob note and a large chocolate cake.

Starship Nutterprize was having a bad day.

First it was ambushed by Kardashian encyclopedia salesmen.

Then it crash-landed next to a remote diner.

"The menu lists 97 types of sausage," Captain Kook exclaimed.
"This is the world of all possible wursts."

Be here now and watch the fro. Jump the lines and then go and chill out. Mellow out by wearing a multicoloured kaftan with flowers in your hair. Do you own thing and boogie all the way down to the bus stop.

Paul, you should consider condensing some of your puns into a single sentence and submitting them into the Buller-Lytton Fiction Contest. They have a category for exactly this sort of thing. I particularly enjoyed the last one: "...world of all possible wursts"

Starfeck Command invariably sent its least promising personnel to the Nutterprize.

Take Mr. Schlock: unsurpassed as a logician, but no Rembrandt with brush and canvas. Today's painting: dogs playing poker.

While painting, Schlock helped Schrodinger's Cat learn Hamlet's "To be" soliloquy.

"I don't get it!" I protested. You're sending us out alone for your fox hunt?"

"Some honeymoon!" Lurlene added.

"The horses are experienced. They know the trails," Lord
Thwockworthy said.

"We aren't experienced hunters."

"Unnecessary. This time, the foxes will hunt *you.*"

Theofilius Bootleg was lecturing seven generations of descendants on how to stay alive.

"As you all know us cats have nine lives. I only spent
eight to reach my age of 142 years"

When he heard the truck it was too late...

"Where was I", Theofilius Bootleg IX continued when he woke up again in the vet's hospital.

"Learn from the May flies", he told his descendants. "They only live for 24 hours, but soon learn to make hasty decisions and hardly ever divorce"

Everest was harder to climb, but Mount Whereisit was harder to find. Some people argued that it moved around, others that it didn't exist.

Today I stood proudly on its summit. Then I noticed wings unfurling from the mountain's sides.

Mystery explained!
