Some people don't know the write way to have pun. Do you glib a damn? Is your brain overactive with whirred play? Then why not let the pun-ishment fit the cryin'?
 
(Good lord, that pic...)

"Caleb can feel free to keep those orgasms coming, though. Pun fully intended."

I believe that's the only pun I've ever used.

K. Leb me ask you for more, because otherwise this thread will climax in silence or chasm of quiet.

I like the way your sentence ends with such a calming, refractory period.
 
I don't write puns just for the sake of writing puns, it's bound to come off as lame if you do that. But I'm not opposed to using them sometimes if it fits. It can be really punny if you come a cross a truly great pun. When used in dialogue and the pun is acknowledged by either the speaker or someone else then it can really help to make the characters feel alive.

I slip them in for pretty much my own amusement and doubt many get them.

Things like a character holding up a mirror to check their hair while saying "I think this reflects poorly on me"

Or "I swear she was staring at my crotch, nah, that's nuts."

Those are pretty good, a lot better than just replacing one word with a similar one. I certainly would appreciate these as a reader.

I love puns, but you need props for them. I go out of my way to use them with this woman I work with who hates them.

"Hey, last night I had this dream I was in an ocean of orange soda, turned out to be a fanta sea.":D

If you have the props then it certainly works great. My sister and I both love puns too, used to drive my parents crazy, especially my mom.

That's funny. My daughter and I do it to my wife. We'll be out to dinner and I'll tap the butter. "You butter not eat too much bread" then the girl follows suit, picking up the bread "Dad's on a ROLL' and we just keep going 'asalting her with bad jokes and 'peppering' her with puns :D
 
I've read Pratchett and Carroll. Once you've seen Prachett take ten pages to set up a soul crushing, end-all-and-be-all pun, you realise you'll never be more than a babe where the great grandmasters have walked. And good mercy, Carroll's "inspector" pun...

So yeah, no. I don't write puns.

Besides, as Carroll himself said, and he would know:

The Great and Good must ever shun
that reckless and abandoned one
who stoops to perpetrate a pun.

Ahh... So the punning is in the genes? Just one more thing I can blame my parents for. :mad:
 
Anytime dad jokes come up, this comes to mind along with a quick story. I somehow stumbled onto this link(warning great bad dad jokes/puns here) and immediately sent it to my daughter from from my phone.

When I got home I had an e-mail from my daughter and saw it was the same link with a message "so you"

I had sent her the e-mail at 5:10 pm, she had sent hers to me at 4:59 same day.

That is bad joke serendipity right there

What are the chances of that? That's so unlikely that it's almost creepy. Speaking of creepy, my sister I regularly make the exact same joke at the exact same time, even though we're both sure it was an original one. I thought that only happened to twins, but apparently not... Maybe we've got some weird sibling telepathy going on XD
 
From the Hallmark movie I'm watching right now:

The bride says that her groom is at a rhinoplasty convention. "He's the keynose speaker."

At the brunch table, "There's no margarine for error."
 
I'm seething with envy...
I don't think I can look at this thread anymore :(
