Co Cavan road re-opens after accident
15 December 2005 16:43
The N55 between Ballinagh, Co Cavan, and Granard, Co Longford, has reopened following an accident earlier today.
More than 5,000 chickens were spilled into the carriageway from a lorry, creating dangerous driving conditions.
A crane was brought in to remove the lorry, and a second truck was put in place to remove the poultr
Eggs had broken in the carriageway, and some of the chickens were laying there.
Diversions were in place for a time along the adjacent regional routes which are narrower and more hazardous. All restrictions have since been lifted.
:D :D
Ths is bound to be a pun-filled thread..........Help yourselves.:D

Eggs had broken in the carriageway, and some of the chickens were laying there.It must be terrible for the workers to clear a section of the road of eggs only to turn around and find the chickens had laid some more.

In 6 months time I can just picture it. At a dinner table somewhere between Cavan and Longford, a young lad staring up from his plate, "Ah jaysus, not fookin' chicken tonight AGAIN mammy!!"

I'm sure that a Kentucky Fried Chicken premises can be built at the eggsident site so that there will be a permanent henmorial to the scene of the fowl tragedy. I'm sure that all the cocks will rejoice in glory!!:D

I've just discovered what we're doing here. It's called Paronomasia:eek: Sounds like some psychotic disorder or something associated with those bondage clubs.
"Paronomasia is a the most common type of pun. It makes use of words that sound similar to other words, but which have different meanings."
In Totty watch we'd call that Pornomasia.:D
I then found all these, some well known, others........well.........let's just say when I read through some of the stranger ones, my two remaining brain cells screamed, "Danger, Danger, Overload, Shutdown".. LOL
Here's the list:
http://www.badpuns.com/list.php?section=dictionary
Have a look at them.........words like "Feghoot", "Antanaclasis", something called a "Tom Swifty" or "Syllepsis".:eek:
Aren't these the types of words you'd hear from members of the legal profession such as lawyers, magistrates AKA "beaks" (honk) and certainly not us ...........eh.........lay-men. (boom boom)
