Laughter is good for the soul

Mark Twain said, “The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter,” and I am sure that we can all agree with him.

With that quote in mind, it comes as no surprise why humans can scroll through the various social media pages looking at funny memes and videos, reading funny stories or giggling at silly photos. Something else that also provides us humans with endless pleasure, is the various ways we can prank or fool each other, and I believe that is the main reason why April Fool’s Day is one of our favourite days to observe.

This day has been celebrated for many years (even though no one can be too sure about its exact origin) and is well known for playing practical jokes on each other, resulting in a day filled with laughter and fun.

I wanted to add to the merriment of this day, but instead of sharing a list of pranks you can pull on your friends, I decided to share some puns, which will either make you laugh out loud or groan out loud.

These are some puns I found on the Facebook page, The Daily Pun and is aptly named Punography:

• I tried to catch some fog. I mist.
• I stayed up all night to see where the sun went. Then it dawned on me.
• I’m reading a book about anti-gravity. I can’t put it down.
• Energizer bunny arrested. Charged with battery.
• I didn’t like my beard at first. Then it grew on me.
• What do you call a dinosaur with an extensive vocabulary? A thesaurus.
• What does a clock do when it’s hungry? It goes back four seconds.
• I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me!

Until next week, stay safe, laugh more and look out for each other …
