I felt that I had to include this as it's along the same word play lines....and after all, it will help our State-side friends understand the rules of cricket!!
THE RULES OF CRICKET
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
Each man that's in the side that's in, goes out, and when he's out, he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.
When they are all out the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.
Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When both sides have been in and out including the not-outs, that's the end of the game.

OK - here's a range of jokes and puns following earlier themes:
A man walks into a bar. "Ouch!" he says.
A giraffe, a donkey and a horse walk into a bar. The bartender says "Why the long faces?"
Two blondes walk into a building. You would have thought one of them would have seen it!
There was a tribal king in Central Africa. He had a fascination for thrones so he decided to collect them. He invaded and overuled nearby tribes, taking the throne of that ruler away as a trophy. He stored the thrones in his big chiefs grass hut.
He collected thrones made from wood, some made of bone and some made of rock. Before long he had the largest collection of thrones in the world. His grass hut was running out of room so he started to put them up into the rafters to make more room.
One day the thrones stored in the roof became too heavy for the rafters and they all came crashing down, landing on the king and killing him.
The moral to the story: People who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones.

I was driving along with me mate in the car when he points at some marsupial roadkill on the side of the highway.
'Slow Skippy.' he says.
'Skippy was a kangaroo. That's a wallaby.'
'Well-I'll-be.'
(sidebar - actually happened. And my mate thought it was so hilarious that to this day he cannot drive past roadkill without resurrecting the same gag)
