Ed Ranks 10 Terrible National Homophone Puns


These are all awful, and I'm not proud of typing any of them out. But here we go anyway.

(Honorable Mention) - The Emo kid in Doha who slit his wrists for attention was a Qatar Cutter.

[This one only sort of counts, because nobody agrees how to pronounce "Qatar." I've known people stationed in the country who swear it's pronounced "cutter," and that everyone saying "kah-tar" is a moron. And I've known other people who say that the people who pronounce it "cutter" are stupid military redneck hillbillies. Whatever.]

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
10. Celebrate Thanksgiving in Istanbul with a Turkey in Turkey.

9. The speed-walking man in Moscow was a Rushin' Russian.

8. My friend from Santiago's con carne is the best Chile Chili.

7. That guy from Prague paid off his debt with a Czech Check.

6. When Stalin launched the Winter War he wanted to Finish the Finnish.

5. On its 20th Anniversary, the Class of 99' at Saint-Denis High School had its Reunion in Réunion.

4. Did you hear about the vote in Warsaw? It was a Pole Poll.

3. The neckwear I bought in Bangkok was a Thai Tie.

2. A man from Oranjestad with a a corned beef and swiss sandwich is an Arbuban with A Reuben.

1. If Ben Grimm from Fantastic Four had been from Baghdad, he would be A Rocky Iraqi.
