Friday Wisdom – Carpenters

Posted on 07/28/2023 by Andrew Reynolds

I’m doing a little woodworking this week so here’s what I know about carpenters:

I was trying to figure out a pun about carpentry, but nothing wood work.

I interviewed for a job as a carpenter. I nailed it.

The one kind of nail carpenters don’t like to hit is a thumb nail.

A carpenter told me he didn’t like drills – he said he found them boring.

Did you hear about the carpenter who got fired? Never measured up.

At a party carpenters are always raising the roof.

What’s the most common bird you’ll find on a construction site? A crane.

Why was the carpenter found not guilt of murder? There was no concrete evidence.

I was working on a good construction joke, but there was no build-up.

Did you hear that they were working very hard on Big Ben – apparently they’re working around the clock.

I can cut a piece of wood in half by just looking at it. It’s true, I saw it with my own eyes.

    Oh my, I sense your list was just a smattering of the excellent carpenter puns out there (starting with “wood work”, LOL). Actually, my first thought was the Carpenters (Karen and Richard) but there’s no reason to kid about them. Loved their music.

    I like raising the roof, Andrew. Must be more handy than I think.
