Meanwhile, Les Coleman shares his latest thunks—
Overnight intruders broke into the clay pigeon factory and shot all the pigeons.
Ping: Pong's friend.
Blind, Deaf and Dumb came to their senses.
He sold his soul, and a second-hand car, to the Devil.
There was no conversation to speak of.
The lead balloon was proving impossible to blow up.
Nudity: the height of fashion.
Cold weather caused the skull's teeth to chatter.
Parachute complaint forms need to be filled out in

A face-off ensued between the two cuckoo clocks.
The deaf piano tuner lived in the same street as the
blind art critic.
Eve went to the greengrocers to buy some apples.
A leaking sieve only added to their problems.
