What did one Jack-o-lantern say to the other? Cut it out!

One of my favorite things about fall is pumpkins!  Eating them in things (and the seeds of course!), carving them, decorating with them, for some reason I just love them!  I love going to the pumpkin patch as well!  How about some more pumpkin funnies to kick start fall!

  • What is a pumpkin's favorite sport?
    Squash
  • Why do Jack-o-lanterns have stupid smiles on their faces?
    You'd have a stupid smile, too, if you had just had all your brains scooped out!
  • What's the ratio of a pumpkin's circumference to its diameter?
    Pumpkin Pi  (3.1428571428571428571428571428571)
  • What do you get when you cross a snowman and a vampire?
    Frostbite!
  • How do you repair a broken Jack-o-lantern?
    Buy a pumpkin patch!
  • What's black, white, orange, and waddles? 
    A penguin carrying a Jack-o-lantern.
  • Why do pumpkins never quarrel? 
    Because they have no stomach for fighting.
