Why do they call it a paring knife?

Because it cuts things into two, so now you have a pair.

My 15-year-old had to think about this for a minute... Then he goes "Wait, doesn't every knife do that?" Congratulations, son, that's called critical thinking.

Wife: A bird in the hand is better than a pair in a bush.

Me: Pears grow in trees.

A mime in my town was arrested yesterday after he broke his left arm in a bar fight.

He still has the right to remain silent.

I helped my neighbor prune her pear tree...

But of course, I couldn't do all the work alone. The job required both of us.

It was a pair pear pare.

I usually slice two of my apples after I peel them...

For a dessert, they pare up nicely!

Original joke time! The apples I had to remove the peals from all appeared in twos, matched for use together.

They pared up nicely.

Did you hear about the pirate whose bird collection was too big?

Everyone kept telling him he needed to "pare it down"
