Humour ~ plays on words, etc.

This is a gallery of shots that I hope will raise a smile or three! Hopefully you will either find the picture amusing in itself, or else in combination with the title. I enjoy 'plays on words' and so quite a few of the images in this gallery will be what I call 'picture puns'. Unfortunately you will have to have a pretty good grasp of English to understand most of them!!

Still, I hope you enjoy your visit. Please leave me a comment if you do. It will be good to hear from you.

Kind regards, Chris
