Anyone got a favourite pun?

[Generally Contrary]

Iain Banks' 'A Song of Stone' has some terrific wordplay including some great puns.  I wouldn't want to do them injustice by attempting to repeat them from memory here.  But it is auch an altogether depressing book that this playfulness does not lift the mood.

I did like the Sin/Dex pun; 'are you taking the pith?' when they were to enter an overgrown tropical garden.

That which does not kill me, makes me Stranger...

A couple of the Skyclad album titles have been good, namely:

The Silent Whales of Lunar Sea

and

Oui Avant-Garde a Chance

Some of their song lyrics tend to use puns a lot too.

The Piers Anthony Xanth books are based on a lot of puns too.

Puns abound in Terry Pratchett's work.

The Necrotelecomnicon. The Kingdom of Djelibeybi. In-sewer-ants.

Groucho: "That?s...that?s all right, that?s in every contract. It?s what they call a sanity clause."

Chico: "Hahahaha, you can?t fool me. There ain?t no Sanity Clause"http://www.evl.uic.edu/pape/Marx/sounds/images/SanityClause.jpg">

D'ya hear about the constipated mathematician?  He had to work it out with a pencil.

Well, there's a turnip for the books...

Where do you suppose a certain Japan-dwelling boarder writes his many letters? On the Floyd Commode?...

Oh, PUN'S. I thought you said...nevermind I'll get me coat.

[Oddboy]

Lettuce leaf? ('let us leave?')

[House of Usher]

Nice one.

Then there's forgetting to pun at all.

Not exactly a pun, but a favourite of mine from Absolutely:

"There's an old saying: you are what you eat. You've obviously been eating something extremely stupid."
