“The rich get richer and the poor get children.”

Let’s do Leno’s wedding announcements!

“Alison fall’s on her R’s.”

Are they related to Richie Rich?

Too easy.

In my wife’s home town, there was a girl named Loveless who married a guy named Cupid.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it, news puns are making headlines!

The journalist was arrested for his headline-ious puns; he was charged with “corny-tent” violation.

The newspaper columnist was known as the “pun-dit”; they always had a “say-castic” spin.

The investigative journalist was able to crack the case by following a trail of newspaper puns; it was a “pun-derful” discovery.

The editor-in-chief loved hiring pun-loving writers; he believed in keeping the “joke-urnalism” alive.

Did you hear about the journalist who became a chef?

Now he really knows how to dish out the news!

I heard a weather forecast that really blew me away.

Talk about scandalous wind patterns!

News reporters always know how to twist the truth.

It’s like they went to journalism contortionist school.

Cosmo at least earns his pay. Does Shoe?

Their son will be named Richie Rich

But in between time, ain’t we got fun.

This one makes me think of “Richie Rich” and all the names used like Richie’s father was Richard Rich, his mother was Richgina, he had a cousin named Reggie Van Dough and many other money referenced names.

It was a good funny book.

Good one, Cosmo.

My grandmother’s maiden name was Peters and she married my grandfather who was a Peterson.

Well this explains where “Richie Rich” came from.

Should have been ‘Rich gets Richer’ – it’s a proper name.

The poor get all the bills.

Sign of the times.

Did you hear about the poor pirate that married another poor pirate?

The poor got poor aaarrr!

One of my distant relatives married Mary Merry.
