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!
