Nativity Word Play «

I'm still enjoying Crackers In Need — thanks to everyone who sent in nativity-related puns in response to yesterday's appeal.

I'll kick off with my three and then share some of the ones sent in by other people...

Why were the three wise French men turned away from the stable?

Because they brought gold, frankincense and merde.

How did the shepherd feel when he was told sheep weren't a suitable gift for a baby?

He couldn't give a flock.

What was the baby Jesus's favourite sandwich shop?

Pret A Manger.

These from Alex C. :

Why did MTV refuse to film Jesus's birth?

Because he had no crib for a bed.

What's Ant and Dec's favourite carol?

Ha-way in a manger.

How did the wise man feel when he found out there'd been no room at the inn for baby Jesus?

Frankly, incensed.

More from Richard W. :

Why did the three wise men go to a miniature delicatessen?

Because they wanted to see Baby Cheeses.

What was Baby Jesus' favourite sport?

Stable tennis.

And this one from Jess B. :

Why did the shepherd's business venture go bust?

Because he had a crooked staff.

And finally, a late-running elf-related one from Alex T.:

Why did Santa's helpers go on strike?

Because they are all little elfish bastards.

Tomorrow's theme is Christmas dinner and Christmas food, so turkey, mince pies, brandy butter, all that stuff.

Good luck!
