So if I told you about a lorry full of tortoises which collided with a van full of terrapins, creating a turtle disaster, you wouldn't like it?

When you say "lorry" do you really mean "truck"?
And didn't I already indicate I don't approve of puns? |

Didn't The Land of Oz have something very... accurate... to say about puns?

Why does that matter? Have you never read a fictional book which accurately described an aspect of real life?

Does a fictional book reflect reality?

I think I've found the quotation you must have meant. It was "puns display genius" was it not?
