In a complicated pun of this nature, it is well to avoid the use of the actual words used in the PUNch line, so as not to telegraph the pun to the listener. However, this pun appeared in more or less this exact form in a collection of puns published by Bennet Cerf more than fifteen years ago. It's a good pun, and one of my favorites, but if anyone holds a "copyright" on it, it would be Mr. Cerf. -- Berry Kercheval, Zehntel Inc. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
