My brother just sent me an article on Victorian puns. (Seriously). So I thought I would share. (puns, punishment, whichever…)

Here are a ‘few’:

What is the difference between a beehive and a diseased potato?
None at all; as one is a beeholder, the other a speck’d tatur.

What is the best way of making a coat last?
Make the trousers and waistcoat first.

Why is a man who never lays a wager as bad as a regular gambler?
Because he’s no better.

Why should a candle-maker never be pitied?
Because all his works are wicked, and all his wicked works, when brought to light, are only made light of.
