Well, some puns hurt more than others... I remember one spouted by Robin
(of Batman and...) as he jumps off a statue of a lion and kicks a crook
in the head he says: "my foot is LION on your jaw"... noe that's painful!

I really like word play (if you couldn't tell) and I'm one of those few
that enjoys a good pun now and again... but puns have to be treated like
spices... usually a little goes a long way.

Duchamp's puns for examply are often brilliant... and the Surrealists
were riddled with puns.
