In summary, Richard Whitely created puns that are so bad they should be pun-ished. He found a very "constructive" pun on one of the "sites" and the inventor of the balloon was full of hot air.

When Nobel Laureate Gunter Grass received his Nobel prize for
Literature in 1999, Dr Horace Engdahl delivered the presentation speech
which concluded "I would like to express the warm congratulations of the
Swedish Academy as I now request you to receive the Nobel Prize for
Literature from the hands of His Majesty the King."

So, Gunter turned towards His Majesty and received his citation and his
cheque for a million dollars (actually it was for Swedish Crowns but I
converted it for convenience ;). He started putting the cheque in his
shirt pocket when His Majesty gently asked "Shouldn't that go to your
back pocket?" Gunter wasn't sure why His Majesty was saying so, so he
started to shove the cheque into his back pocket.

Now, Dr Horace who was behind him interrupted and wondered " Isn't the
front (shirt) pocket a much better location for the cheque?"

Gunter was stunned and started asking her in whispers why she or His
Majesty were interested in where he kept the cheque. His Majesty
overheard him asking her the question and chipped in exactly while she
was answering.

They answered in unison - "We'd always heard that - Grass is always
greener on the other side!" (By Gunjan Saraf)

For the mathemtacians amongst us:
The teacher asked the class," Can anyone use `before' in a sentence. Johnny raised his hand and answered,"Two plus two would be four!"

A teacher is teaching a class of 5 year olds...

Teacher: "Can anyone use the letter I in a sentence?"
Johnny: "I is..."
Teacher: "No Johnny, we say 'I am' not 'I is'"
Johnny: "Ok, I am the eighth letter of the alphabet."

1. What is the definition of a pun?

A pun is a play on words that uses two or more meanings of a word, or words that sound similar but have different meanings, to create a humorous effect.

2. Can you give an example of a pun?

Why couldn't the bicycle stand up by itself? Because it was two-tired.

3. Why are puns considered bad jokes?

Puns are often considered bad jokes because they can be seen as corny or cheesy. They also require a certain level of wit and wordplay that not everyone finds funny.

4. Are puns only used for humor?

No, puns can also be used to make a serious point or to add depth to a statement. They can be used in literature, advertising, and even in scientific research to add a clever twist.

5. Can anyone make a pun or is it a talent?

While some people may have a natural talent for making puns, anyone can learn to make them with practice. It just takes a bit of creativity and a willingness to play with words.
