avid R. Yale, author of
Pun Enchanted Evenings
offers us more pun-some entertainment in
HomesPun Humor: A Compendium of Guffaws, Giggles & Mirth
. Chapter headings range from
Cats, Dogs, Birds & Beasts
to
Cops & Robbers
and
Grab Bag
, with a bit of everything in between.
I
n his Introduction, Yale reminds us that '
A good pun is its own re-word.
' He offers
Daffynitions
like '
A tabby cat mixes her souffle with her whisk-ers!
' and '
Herbibore: Vegetarian who rambles on about not eating meat!
' Groaners with longer setups include
He's Just an Ill Lucian
and
A Very Mr. Rios Set of Circumstances
.
A
t the back of the book are
Guest Punster Showcases
. I rather like Jeremy Purser's '
There were only two doctors in my hometown. They asked all of their patients to stop smoking, but they were chain smokers themselves. That's a strange paradox.
'
I
f you know a punster, or someone who enjoys this strange form of humor, they'd probably appreciate
HomesPun Humor
as a holiday gift. I know who's getting my copy.
