Puns from Greek dramatists, Shakespeare, the Bible, GeorgeS. Kaufman, and Groucho Marx vie for attention with comicalspoonerisms, droll malapropisms, witty anagrams, and humorouspalindromes--plus original material by the author--including limericks, clerihews, crossword puzzles, acrostic puzzles, tonguetwisters, and other kinds of word play.

  • Time ?a,ies like an arrow. Fruit ?a,ies like a banana.
  • The pony was unable to talk because he was a little hoarse.
  • Two peanuts went into a bar. One was a salted.
