Some Call Him The Punnoisseur

I can't get enough of punny jokes, and so it's now my mission to collect as many as I can. Give me your best punchlines!
The more brutally groan-inducing, the better. I guess I'm just into the punishment. (By the way, I have checked all of these, which are indeed great... but I need moar!).

Did you hear the one about the movie theater jamming cell phones? I guess they needed a chatfilter.

Collecting puns is kind of like collecting plastic vending machine trinkets, or pretty rocks. There's a near-infinite supply, and while some are certainly better than others, there's nothing really exceptional about any of them.

Did you hear about the new corduroy pillows?
They're really making headlines.

What do you get when you mix a brown chicken and a brown cow?
brownchickenbrowncow (prounounced like "Bow-Chicka-Wow-Now")
(I told my sister the first joke years ago, and many months later she told me that she had told someone else about the 'corduroy pillows.' I had forgotten about the joke, and asked, "What? Corduroy Pillows??" only to receive the punchline. She later told me the second joke, but messed up the delivery, asking what you get when you mix a brown chicken and a brown bear. When I asked, she responded, "Brown-Chicken-Brown...Oh...")

There are quite a few here. However, you have to add the (usually fairly long and involved) part that comes before the punchline. Doubtless the stories were omitted to spare those with weak stomachs.

A man sent ten puns to his friends, hoping they'd make 'em laugh.
Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.

You may find previous O. Henry Pun-Off results inspiring. My favorite.
