There are so many puns to choose from...

It's Conker season in England. The bloody things are falling from Chestnut trees everywhere - so much so, that I've resorted to driving through the countryside with the sunroof closed.

In Autumn, schools all around England echo to the sounds of nuts smacking together. In fact, later this month the World Conker Championships will be held in Northhamptonshire...where the winner will receive a novelty hat and the admiration of a crowd that really should find something better to do with their time.

Conkers dates back to 1848 when the first recorded game occured on the Isle of Wight. Oddly enough it took over two hundred years after the Horse Chestnut tree was introduced into England for someone to come up with the concept of Conkers....he must have been very bored that weekend.
