Fun With Language – Puns

Surely you have heard this one:

• I scream you scream, we all scream for ice cream.

This play on words is possible because the words ice cream sound an awful lot like I scream.

Here is one of my favorite bumper stickers:

• Visualize whirled peas

I actually saw that bumper sticker several times before I got the connection between whirled peas and world peace.

The two examples above are based on similar sounding words.  Puns can also come about when one word has more than one meaning.

• Your argument is sound, nothing but sound.

Sound can mean solid, but it also can mean just noise.
