As Oscar Levant said many years ago, 'A pun is the lowest form of wit, especially if you didn’t think of it first.' In this lively collection you’ll find a hilarious abundance of pun-ishment for the millions who can’t 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, 'I’m the chipmonk.' The book also contains a PUNdix, a PUNabridged dictionary and a collection of the best... and worst... jokes in the world!
