Ron,
RL> as an adult, I **got** the puns. And, ya, they were really bad puns
RL> (but that's what makes them funny).
In years past, there was "The World Championship Pun Off", held in
Austin, Texas...to benefit the O. Henry Museum. The humor was "drier
than the Sahara".
There were 2 competitions:
1) Punniest Of Show. The contestant could do a joke or story, with a
big pun at the end, or full of puns. It was best to have it at 60
seconds or less. At 90 seconds, a bell would ring, and points would
be deducted. At 2 minutes, a second bell would ring, and the contestant
was "pun-ished" by "disk-qualificaton"...because they were a real
"floppy".
2) High Lies And Low Puns. Two punsters go head to head (for a mental
bruising), with a specific category. You knew in advance what the
categories were, but didn't know which one you'd have to deal with.
You then had 5 seconds to make a pun, then your rival had 5 seconds
to do likewise. You couldn't use the same pun twice, and if one failed
to make a pun within 5 seconds, they were out.
The eventual winners of both got a nice tro-fee and sir-tificiate
(misspellings and puns intended).
