Stand-Up

Day 338 (28) – Pun

I’ve never quite understood what people have against puns.  Comedians can get on stage and talk about sex, drugs, rock ‘n roll (and I’m not entirely sure how rock ‘roll stacks up with the other two); they can curse, and use words that would otherwise never be used in society, and on and on, but you say one pun – and you’re done (sorry Dave, “finished” doesn’t rhyme with pun).

I’ve never punderstood that.  I mean, what’s the pun in having no puns?  Will I be punished for using puns, will someone punch me in the face?   I think puns are a punderful thing, and that’s a punderstatement.  So I say, if you like puns, laugh even if you’re the only pun, because at the end of the day, what’s pun is pun.  Pun.
