Is that a rhetorical question or a groan for a bad pun that you wish you had thought of first?
Do people actually get envious of puns? And shouldn't your punishment have been for inflicting pun then?

Isn't there some sort of rule that says using a pun is a bannable offense?

Should the quality of the pun determine whether...or not...punishment should happen? Could the Monty Python Lethal Joke actually have been a deadly pun? Punch and Judy's humor didn't come from puns...did they?

Is it the man who put the "bomp" in the "bomp-bomp-bomp-bomp-bomp"? Do we want to shake his hand?

Isn't the fact that it was funny proof that it wasn't a pun?
And wasn't it kind of... a joke, not a pun?

Doesn't that depend on whether it's punishment for the pun or the illegal statement?

Would the illegal statement be punishment for the pun?

Should any future statements posted in this thread result in a 1 day suspension from MobileRead for the poster?

Is a statement, a statement if it has a question mark attached to it?

Aren't all good puns actually bad puns? Should a question before the statement act as a counter pun to the pun?
