Pun

pun is a joke that makes a play on words. A pun, also called paronomasia, uses words that have several meanings or words that sound similar but have different meanings.

Few examples below:
  • Let’s talk about rights and lefts. You’re right, so I left.
  • Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
  • When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds.
  • A boiled egg every morning is hard to beat.
  • Two fish are in a tank. One says to the other, “Err...so how do you drive this thing?”
  • I went to buy some camouflage trousers yesterday but couldn't find any.
  • I've been to the dentist many times so I know the drill.
  • Being struck by lightning is a shocking experience!
  • Without geometry, life is pointless.
  • A chicken crossing the road is truly poultry in motion.
  • The roundest knight at King Arthur’s table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from far too much pi.
  • I went to a seafood disco last week....and pulled a mussel.
  • She had a photographic memory but never developed it.
  • Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was brilliant!

Playing with words

These days I am more inclined towards playing with words. The position of words drastically change the conveyed meaning. Not only words, a mere position of comma, also achieves the same.

We can see the example below:

Only he lent me five cents. (= He and nobody else lent me five cents.)
He only lent me five cents. (= He only lent me the money, he didn’t do anything else.)
He lent me only five cents. (= He didn’t lend me more than five cents.)
He lent only me five cents. (i.e. to nobody else)


People oblivious of this fact keep using words in wrong position resulting in hilarious situations.
