Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns
were swimming around in the sea - one called Justin & the
other called Christian.
The prawns were constantly being harassed & threatened by
sharks that inhabited the area. Finally one day Justin said to
Christian, "I'm fed up with being a prawn, I wish I was a shark,
then I wouldn't have any worries about being eaten."
A large mysterious cod appeared & said, "Your wish is granted"
& lo & behold, Justin turned into a shark.
Horrified, Christian immediately swam away, afraid of being
eaten by his old mate.
Time passed (as it invariably does) & Justin found life as a shark
boring & lonely. All his old mates simply swam away whenever
he came close to them. Justin didn't realise that his new menacing
appearance was the cause of his sad plight.
While swimming alone one day he saw the mysterious cod again
& he thought perhaps the mysterious fish could change him back
into a prawn. He approached the cod & begged to be changed
back, & lo & behold, he found himself turned back into a prawn.
With tears of joy in his tiny little eyes Justin swam back to his
friends & bought them all a cocktail.
(The punch line does not involve a prawn cocktail - it's much worse).
Looking around the gathering at the reef he realised he couldn't see
his old pal. "Where's Christian?" he asked.
"He's at home, still distraught that his best friend changed sides to the
enemy & became a shark",came the reply.
Eager to put things right again & end the mutual pain & torture, he
set off to Christian's abode.
As he opened the coral gate memories came flooding back. He
banged on the door & shouted, "It's me, Justin, your old friend,
come out & see me again."
Christian replied,"No way man, you'll eat me. You're now a shark,
the enemy, & I'll not be tricked into being your dinner."
Justin cried back "No, I'm not. That was the old me. I've changed....
I've found Cod. I'm a Prawn again Christian."

Well you don't need to carp about it. Drum up something of your own next

"WoodButcher" <[email protected]> writes a horrid pun.
I told it to a friend, and he reminded me of the tragic story of Mahatma Gandhi.
Many people don't know it, but as Gandhi grew in socio-political
importance, his health suffered. His bad breath was bad enough that
people would faint. As he was revered, his body functions started to
fail. His feet, while callused from years of being barefoot, were
losing their sensitivity to heat and cold.
There's really one one word to describe his medical condition.
