Webster says:
pun - the usually humorous use of a word in such a way as to suggest two or more of its meanings or the meaning of another word similar in sound.

John Cleese said the three rules of comedy are:
1) No puns
2) No puns
3) No puns

Classic BBC radio comedy series of the late sixties - early seventies which featured Cleese, Tim Brooke-Taylor, Grahame Garden, Bill Oddie (who became The Goodies), Jo Unwin and David Hatch (who eventually rose to Managing Director BBC Radio). The programme was based almost entirely on excruciatingly corny puns.
Amazingly enough, I've had a look and there doesn't seem to be a guide entry on ISIRTA....

Not many people get me either... perhaps it'll be better once people who I crack thinking jokes to start reading books... such as 1984...
