Favoured Puns for Cunning LinguistsRules:
1. These must be funny, provocative or amusing - either way, please make them well thought out!
Dorothy Parker's: "You can lead a whore to culture, but you can't make her think" is a very good directing example.
2. These can be of your own device and making, or they can be pilfered, wholesale, from wags and wordsmiths from days of yore.
Right then, you puns-of-bitches! Get to it!

"But why?" they asked, as they moved off. "Because", he said, "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."

And an eel bites your knee,
That's a moray....

A: "My wife's going to the West Indies on holiday..."

A: "No, she's going of her own accord..."
