(Don’t feel too bad for those piggies—we got some great pig puns out of the deal.) But wolves often get a bad rap, and word is they can be quite funny. Still not convinced? These wolf jokes might change your mind.
It turns out that wolves are hilarious. Wolf jokes, in particular, can be just as amusing as, say, bear puns. Speaking of, bears are just as dangerous as wolves, so how did storybook bears get so lovable? They must have better cublicists.
