WORDS ABOUT WORDS
Punning is the natural act of people who like to play with words and who have the impromptu verbal dexterity to make strange, but often pointed, associations from plainly spoken statements. Their minds work like Las Vegas one-armed bandits, with plums and cherries and oranges spinning madly upon someone's utterance, searching for the right combination to connect on a pun.
