Saddam Hussein's son goes to the grocery store. He then comes back with all the shopping in a cardboard box. Saddam then goes to his son ''why
did you bring the shopping home in a cardboard box?'' The son replies..........

Because there was no Baghdad

Q Classic · April 9, 2003, 23:54

...?

Aro · April 9, 2003, 23:56

Bag... dad.

You know, I've decided that puns merit the death penalty...

(that wasn't actually a threat, just in case someone takes that in the wrong way)

Pekka · April 9, 2003, 23:59

That was funny

Q Cubed, .. because there was no Baghdad (bag, dad).

Q Classic · April 9, 2003, 23:59

but i'm sure there are still bags in baghdad.

maybe not so much grocery stores, but.

i hate puns. they're so much funnier in korean or japanese than they are in english.

Makeo · April 10, 2003, 00:00

its so stupid but i can't stop giggling

Pekka · April 10, 2003, 00:03

I just made up a new one!

Q: How many Saddams does it take to change a lightbulp?

A: I don't know, but 10 lightbulps will break when he is fried in electric chair!

.. ok I know.. terrible joke.. not even funny, but I gave it a shot!

Pekka · April 10, 2003, 00:13

ok, new one:

Ming went to visit his brother and he was listening his brothers new track and asked 'why so much treble? Good one, but something is missing?' and then realized it and continued 'There's no Basra!'

YESS!

Pekka · April 10, 2003, 00:22

this is the last one because I seem to be sucking at this:

Why Saddam was showering all the time when he was visiting Mexico? Because everyone kept calling him dirty sanchez.

.. you know.. the moustache..

ok, I'll give this up

Makeo · April 10, 2003, 00:25

I like the Basra one.

Little April was not the best student in Sunday school. Usually she slept through the class.

One day the teacher called on her while she was napping,"Tell me, April, who created the universe?" When April didn't stir,little Johnny, a boy seated in the chair behind her, took a pin and jabbed her in the rear.

"GOD ALMIGHTY!" shouted April and the teacher said,"Very good" and April fell back asleep.

A while later the teacher asked April, "Who is our Lord and Saviour," But, April didn't even stir from her slumber. Once again, Johnny came to the rescue and stuck her again.

"JESUS CHRIST!" shouted April and the teacher said,"Very good," And April fell back asleep.

Then the teacher asked April a third question. "What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?" And again, Johnny jabbed her with the pin.

This time April jumped up and shouted, "IF YOU STICK THAT F****** THING IN ME ONE MORE TIME, I'LL BREAK IT IN HALF AND STICK IT UP YOUR AS*!

The Teacher fainted.

because asian puns actually deal with phonetically similar words that are exactly the same but with different meanings.

Hey Saddam, I heard you were feeling like Shi'ite.

Don't Mecca big deal out of it.

orange · April 10, 2003, 00:35

Pekka...if "Basra" was pronounced "Base, Rah" I'd give it to you...but no. Good try, though.

Now let us never speak of this again.

so very true. one of my german teachers served in korea a long time ago as a teacher; he relayed two stories.
once, he called a fellow teacher of his sengsun (fried fish), instead of sunseng (teacher).
another time, he put the emphasis on the wrong part of the word: SHIPpal is a curse, while shipPAL is the number 18. student 18 naturally never spoke up during roll call, and the students were mildly curious as to why he kept cursing in the middle of it.

another interesting pun is the difference between:
ki-upta and ki upta.
the first, which is one word, means "cute", or "pretty". the latter means "without ear(s)".

Pekka · April 10, 2003, 00:36

Isn't that they way you pronounce it? Damn it...

orange · April 10, 2003, 00:37

Which curse does SHIpal most closely resemble?

i have to admit, i honestly don't really know what SHIPpal means-- my parents never explained it, and always got rather mad at me when i used it.

in context, however, i gather it's somewhat similar to f*ck.
SHIPpalyongdong would then mean something akin to f*cker.

I think it means fist f---ing. I usually find that asian language profanities dont have meanings. Or that people do not discuss what the original meaning was usually.

Orange, Sh--, Pal?
