Metapuns

Puns. Some people love 'em. Some people hate 'em.

Me? I love metapuns. That is, puns involving the word pun. Here are a few to try at parties. If the topic of puns comes up, I usually rattle these off one after another until even the most hardened pun-hater is won over.

• Get thee to a PUNnery!
• This is cruel and unusual PUNishment.
• I should be locked in a PUNitentiary!
• Hot cross PUNS!
• I have a feeling I'm about to get PUNched!
• Uh oh - PUN away! PUN away!

If people complain, simply inform them that these aren't puns - they're metapuns. Because that way, you can cap off with,

• I never metapun I didn't like!

Yup.

That was a metametapun.
