Some Puns

A pun is a play on words.

It is a humorous use of a word or phrase to suggest different meanings or ideas.

"Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana."

This popular one, from Groucho Marx, makes use of two homographic puns, where multiple meanings come from a single spelling.

"He gave up being a doctor; he didn't have patience."

In this one, the pun used is homophonic ("patience"/"patients").

Puns are pretty amusing and good fun to read. And what better way than to laugh/snigger/sneer/giggle/smile our way to better vocabulary?

So, here are 100 puns for you to enjoy!

And remember: That that is is; that that is not is not!
