THE BEST BOOK OF PUNS

As Oscar Levant said many years ago, A pun is the lowest form of wit, especially if you didnt think of it first. In this lively collection youll find a hilarious abundance of pun-ishment for the millions who cant resist giving a word or phrase a twist... and ammunition for many occasions from movie, TV and theatre wags, from the wits of Wall Street and Washington... the gems from poets and pundits and some of the bottom-of-the-barrel crumbs! Golf is like taxes. You drive hard to get to the green and wind up in the hole. A monastery in financial trouble decided to go into the fish-and-chips industry to raise revenues. One night a customer knocked on the door and a monk answered. Are you the fishfriar? the customer asked. No, the robed figurereplied, Im the chipmonk. The book also contains a PUNdix, a PUNabridged dictionary and a collection of the best... and worst... jokes in the world!_,
