Post Easter Vigil Party
Andrew: Who here thinks that was a pun?
(Four out of six people raise their hands.)
Andrew: You see? Now hit me with the bottle!*
Mrs Behnke is throwing her Wheelock party tomorrow night, and I have no idea what I'm wearing. I've worn all my nice clothing over the course of the holiday.
*Necessary context: Steph reacts to puns with violence, but she didn't believe that "Nominal? I think Phenomenal." was a pun.

Ok... well, how completely and totally lame was it? Like... for a pun, it was completely uprovoked, premeditated, and just so lacking in purpose it was closer to pathetic than the perversion of a true joke...

i'm sorry, that's totally not a pun. not all fiddling with words is a pun. in fact, that wprdplay might be so lame as to require violent retribution, but not on the basis of its being a pun. trust me, i'm a trained professional.

Well, Mr. Trained Professional, I invite you to look up the definition of the word "pun" in a dictionary of your choosing and get back to us.

Oh, c'mon. A dictionary? Those are horrible at defining words in argumentation. Even so, the burden is on you to explain how the definition attains in this instance. It's a well-known fact that I'm well-nigh illiterate.
