Fishy remark. Should I take the bait? Will I end up in deep water - swimming
with the sharks?

Q) Why didn't the lobster share his food with the others?
A) Because he is shellfish.

Do you like my pun or is it a damp squid? ( I'm fishing for a compliment)

Wow! The puns must have been really bad - Billy the fish has just got off
his plaque on the wall, put his fins in his ears and left, riding away on my
bicycle.

I find it fascinating that for although Puce claims to NOT be a troll

simply guaranteed to keep the arguments going.

She short a few kangaroos in the paddock, a few tinnies short of a
party, and hasn't got all her chairs at home.

Haven't heard those before! The Italian equivalent is "he's missing a

A sandwich short of a picnic..
A penny short of a shilling.....
"a sausage short of a barbecue

A bicycle short of a surrealist convention

Lobster.

That presumably is the post-modern, content free punchline to the standard
surrealist joke in Devon.
In Dublin it used to be:

Man walks into a bakery and asks for a loaf of bread.
Baker asks: white or brown?
man says: it's ok; I left my bicycle outside.

The other standard angle is to involve a haddock or member of the cod family
at least.

Mornington Crescent?

(I'll get my coat).

Somewhere I heard "a few canapés short of a banquet" which I liked!

I like that one too!

One of my favourite expressions for an ugly person is "head like a
seagoing tadpole".

I do like Aussie-isms.

Have you heard the one for the vulgar/lying/profane - "a gobb like a
robber's dog"?

Such perception!

Not at all, just obvious. You can't leave well enough alone.

You asked for it.........................

Which fish can perform operations?
A Sturgeon!

Where do little fishes go every morning?
To plaice school!

What fish goes up the river at 100mph?
A motor pike!

How could the dolphin afford to buy a house?
He prawned everything!

My favourite two for an ugly person a

2) Face like a bulldog chewing a wasp.
