I like bad puns. I mean to stop using them because they always slip out at inappropriate times, but I can't make it stop. I had originally had a whole entry written on another subject but I deleted it because there were too many bad puns.

It was an entry about punctuation*, no less.

*cries*

They won't go away!

*Which really just makes me think about the differences between visual and verbal puns, because obviously "punctuation" works as a pun if you read it but would fall completely flat if said out loud unless you mangled the pronunciation. Oh dear. I wonder if there's a book (or article, or anything) on this topic. I bet there is, but I have no clue as to how to find one. Other than intensive searching, which I am too lazy (and busy) to do. Still, this fascinates me.

*is fascinated*
