Of puns it has been said that those who most dislike them are those who are least able to utter them. - Edgar Allan Poe The goodness of the true pun is in direct ratio to its intolerability. - Edgar Allan Poe Punning is an art of harmonious jingling upon words, which, passing in at the ears, excites a titillary motion in those parts; and this, being conveyed by the animal spirits into the muscles of the face, raises the cockles of the heart. - Jonathan Swift
