  • Military jokes should be assigned rank. They could result in general hilarity. They could cause major laughter.

  • @randomvideowatcher Absolutely, and some comics' jokes should result in corporal punishment. I think you are on to something.

  • @randomvideowatcher there's a colonel of truth in that

  • @anandmrk exactly he would probably even make up a half witted antropologist, kabbalist golden showerist... o wait wrong picture comedy rarely was hitchs shall we say hemisphere? i actually wonder if that brooklyn bastard learned from him..!

  • I think of puns as being a way to punk your listener. It's dominance striving. It's dog mounting dog. It's saying "I'm going to say something silly and useless on the pretext that it's humor, and you're not going to be able to do anything about it."

    Alfred Hitchcock loved to play practical jokes on people too.

  • PUNS, OH PUNS.

  • puns are indeed good

  • one word. Genius.

  • Dick Cavett:

    The man with the lowest stoop and most powerful suction

    of any interviewer in the history of broadcasting.

  • If puns are the highest form of literature than Mr. Freeze is a literary genius.
