Not bad, Chris.
And not correct.

He pulled a mussel and took her home!? (and no doubt her name would have been Pearl-but her mother would have been out!)

Absolutely spot on, teejay. I'm impressed - and it takes a lot to impress me.
And I particularly like the additions to the end of the tale.
You and Chris were a close call.

Colin ???
 
I sense a bit of a competition between Chris and teejay, so:

'Why was the broom late?'

(Others are welcome to cause an upset).

Ta. Here is one that may be too simple at first glance. How would an Octopus go to war?

Bearing lots of arms, perhaps. Or is that the simpleton's response?

I am so impressed with you guys.
Your quips are much wittier than the one I have which is:

Why was the broom late?
'Because he over swept'

Congrats to you both. We need a Christmas eve tie breaker - see below.

1. What do Santa's little helpers learn at school?

and

Very good, Chris.
And incorrect.

I'll wait until later this evening lest teejay wants to offer a quip or two before posting the version I have.

Well done, Barrie.
Just one to go and then we can all relax in time for Santa's arrival.
