My wife just got back from holiday.... (Pun related word game) →[More:]
My wife just got back from holiday. They have this really weird custom over there. They take two seabirds, liquidise them and then empty the contents over the heads of visiting guests.

Q. So, where did she go?

A. Portugal (Pour Two Gulls)

So, the idea is to take the format above, describe in highly punny terms a destination and make sure that none of the key words are used. Oh, and your wife is not allowed to have gone to Jamaica.

My wife just got back from Holiday. It's an amazing place. They take fat blind male singers and they give them their sight back. It's amazing...

My wife just got back from Holiday. It was OK, but whenever she went shopping, they'd make her dig a hole in the ground and plant anything metal and cylindrical in it. It was pretty weird.
Come on people - you can do them too!

My wife, back from holiday, said that she did NOT sleep with any swarthy foreign men.

Bolivia?

Not likely. She's a right old slapper.

My wife just got back from holiday. Strangest thing; all the elephants there were losing their teeth.

watch heifer races, odd couple, broker, cow, gender important.....?

broker = dealer?, heifer = young, non-parous cow... It's not Krakow or Moscow...a heifer is NOT a bull, no bull, Grenoble? No, that doesn't work.

I give up, eriko.
