  • What is the point of owning puns?

    A pun "is to wordplay what dominatrix sex is to foreplay - a stinging whip that elicits groans of guilty pleasure".

    The lowest form of wit, or the highest form of intelligence? I love a good pun, me, and apparently so did Jesus - so that's another thing we've got in common!

    Here in the UK, entire industries try and outdo each other in the punning stakes, such as hairdressers and fish and chip shops. My local fish and chip shop is called 'The Codfather' and my all-time favourite business pun name is a fish and chip shop up in the valleys called 'A Fish Called Rhondda'!

    They also happen to do good fish and chips, cos let's face it, where they're situated, they have plenty of practice!

    The pun conundrum
    Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

    Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

    Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

        Not sure if that counts.

          There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.
