There’s something oddly satisfying about bone puns. Maybe it’s the way they hit straight to the funny bone, or how skeleton humor always manages to hold together, even when things get brittle. One minute you’re making a joke about femurs, the next you’re stuck in a rib-tickling spiral that won’t let go.
This collection is for the pun-lovers who aren’t afraid to get skeletal. We’re talking skull sass, spine jokes, joint jabs, and marrow-deep wordplay that will have your inner child howling. It’s goofy, clever, sometimes groan-worthy — and totally worth it.
So grab your sense of humor and a little calcium for support, because we’re about to strip it down to the bone — one pun at a time.
