Computer funny:
An ASCII character walked into a bar.
The bartender said, "How are you, my friend?"
To which the ASCII character replied, "I've got a parity error today."
The bartender shot back, "I though you looked a bit off."

Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?
If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?
Why do croutons come in airtight packages? Aren't they just stale bread to begin with?
Do Lipton Tea employees take coffee breaks?
If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?
I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks, so I wondered what do Chinese mothers use? toothpicks?
A good pun is its own reword.

"No, historical. She is always digging up my past."
