Burdening Puns

A big fire in Boston.

It was a Mule Log

I told her that’s the sixth time she’s said that today.

Townsfolk see this and comment how horrible it is that the old man with mobility issues walks while the younger boy rides it.

Hearing this the two switch places but other townsfolk say how terrible it is to see the young boy having to walk.

The two thus decide to both ride on the donkey and other townsfolk say how cruel it is to put such a burden on the donkey by having both ride it.

So the two decide to carry the donkey. As they cross a bridge, however, they lose their grip on the donkey and it falls into the water and drowns.

The moral of the story: If you're goal is to please everyone, you can kiss your ass goodbye.

I had to take a rein check.

It just never came up.

Aquaman is burdened with glorious porpoise.

A burden

Nope! It's a terrible burden. >!Brrr-Den!<

Wasn't sure if this was the place to post, or if I should look for Dad jokes instead.

Tyler Burden.

It's a Civil War era iron-hulled gunboat. Would that be too much of a burden?

Me: I wouldn't call it a burden. More like a hardship.

So my friend at work has been having some shoulder problems and he has some scheduled surgery for it.

Today he says to me: "God damn, my shoulder's really bad. I need this surgery done or i might as well just die."

I reply: "you should just die then. it would be a burden off your shoulders"

An Aussie blonde was sent on her way to Heaven. Upon arrival, a concerned St Peter met her at the Pearly Gates. 'I'm sorry,' St Peter said; 'but Heaven is suffering from an overload of godly souls and we have been forced to put up an Entrance Exam for new arrivals to ease the burden of Heavenly Arrivals.'

'That's cool' said the blonde, 'What does the entrance exam consist of?'

'Just three questions' said St Peter.

'Which are?' asked the blonde.

'The first,' said St Peter, 'is, which two days of the week start with the letter 'T'? The second is 'How many seconds are there in a year'?

The third is 'What was the name of the swagman in Waltzing Matilda?''

'Now,' said St Peter, 'Go away and think about those questions and when I call upon you, I shall expect you to have those answers for me.'

So the blonde went away and gave those three questions some considerable thought (I expect you to do the same).

The following morning, St Peter called upon the blonde and asked if she had considered the questions, to which she replied, 'I have.'

'Well then,' said St Peter, 'Which two days of the week start with the letter T?'

The blonde said, 'Today and Tomorrow.'

St Peter pondered this answer for some time and decided that indeed the answer can be applied to the question.

'Well then, could I have your answer to the second of the three questions' St Peter went on, 'how many seconds in a year?' The blonde replied, 'Twelve!' 'Only twelve' exclaimed St Peter, 'How did you arrive at that figure?' 'Easy,' said the blonde, 'there's the second of January, the second of February, right through to the second of December, giving a total of twelve seconds.'

St Peter looked at the blonde and said, 'I need some time to consider your answer before I can give you a decision.' He walked away shaking his head.

A short time later, St Peter returned to the blonde. 'I'll allow the answer to stand, but you need to get the third and final question absolutely correct to be allowed into Heaven. Now, can you tell me the answer to the name of the swagman in Waltzing Matilda?'

The blonde replied: 'Of the three questions, I found this the easiest to answer.' 'Really!' exclaimed St Peter, 'and what is the answer?' 'It's Andy.' 'Andy??' 'Yes, Andy,' said the blonde. This totally floored St Peter and he paced this way and that, deliberating the answer. Finally, he could not stand the suspense any longer and turning to the blonde, asked 'How in God's name did you arrive at
