Life is punny.

Puns really light up my life. It's so hard to describe to someone exactly what a pun is. Its like wordy irony. Or something like that...here's the dictionary.com definition:

pun  [puhn] Show IPA noun, verb, punned, pun·ning.
–noun
1. the humorous use of a word or phrase so as to emphasize or suggest its different meanings or applications, or the use of words that are alike or nearly alike in sound but different in meaning; a play on words.
2. the word or phrase used in this way.
 
Because that is so darn easy to understand, I've provided some examples taken from http://www.punoftheday.com/cgi-bin/disppuns.pl?cat=0&ord=F&page=1?=0 
These make me laugh. :) Enjoy.
 
1. I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down.

2. I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.

3. Did you hear about the guy whose whole left side was cut off? He's all right now.

4. I couldn't quite remember how to throw a boomerang, but eventually it came back to me.

5. There was a sign on the lawn at a drug re-hab center that said 'Keep off the Grass'.

6. It's not that the man did not know how to juggle, he just didn't have the balls to do it.

7. A hole has been found in the nudist camp wall. The police are looking into it.

8. He drove his expensive car into a tree and found out how the Mercedes bends.

9. I was going to look for my missing watch, but I could never find the time.
