A
pun is a joke that relies on wordplay – words that sound the same
but are spelled differently (homonyms), words that have more than one
meaning, or idioms (phrases that are not literal).
For
some reason, puns are often treated as a lower grade of humor than
other jokes, and people often groan when they hear them. But today we
elevate and celebrate the lowly pun!
Here
are some puns to get you started:
- A man drove his expensive car into a tree and found out how the Mercedes bends.
- Police were called to a daycare where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.
- I couldn’t quite remember how to throw a boomerang, but eventually it came back to me.
- Show me a piano falling down a mineshaft and I’ll show you A-flat minor.
- To write with a broken pencil is pointless.
- A small boy swallowed some coins and was taken to a hospital. When his grandmother telephoned to ask how he was, a nurse said, ‘No change yet.’
- Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
