   JK>> Cue the horror music...Curse Of the Operating System.   
      
   JK>Indeed :)   
      
     Now, I'll have that in my head all night. I'll be like the guy in the   
   cartoon, in the hospital bed, with his head all bandaged up, and looking   
   like death warmed over. The doctor comes in, with this huge jar, filled   
   with musical notes, and says "Good News, Mr. Smith!! We removed that   
   tune that was stuck in your head!!".    
      
   JK>> 1) Punniest Of Show -- the contestant prepares a script, ideally 60   
   JK>> seconds in length. At 90 seconds, a bell sounds, and points are   
   JK>> deducted. A second bell rings at 2 minutes, and the contestant is   
   JK>> disqualified. The script can be full of puns, or have one big one at the   
   JK>> end.   
      
   JK>> 2) High Lies And Low Puns -- from several categories, two punsters go   
   JK>> head to head, having 5 seconds to make a pun on the category, and you   
   JK>> can't use the same pun more than once.   
      
   JK>Sounds like quite the championship :)   
      
     The humor is drier than the Sahara. You're either groaning like you're   
   in terrible pain...or roaring in laughter (and probably peeing your   
   pants). :P   
      
   JK>> Proceeds benefit the O. Henry Museum in Austin, Texas.   
      
   JK>Very neat as well. :)   
      
     The last time I was there, a large amount of attendees were on hand.
