    There's a difference between creative licence and overly self-conscious referential humour.

    Wow, such argument in a thread devoted to near-mindless puns.

    Night Lord, you need to not make puns that aren't readily obvious within the context of your full joke. The whole point of pun jokes are that they are set up and made all in the span of a few sentences; if someone has to explain it, you did it wrong. You see how all your jokes had to be explained, but not anyone else's? That should be pretty telling.

    His joke only needed to be explained to one person, really. Can not every pun fall under the category of "Needs to be explained to someone"? For there are circumstances beyond our immediate sight which may prevent some people from getting puns. For example, if I were telling MY pun to a newborn baby who did not know what the words "left" and "right" meant, then I would look pretty stupid standing there, wasting my breath on someone still swathed in placental remnants.

    It should be noted that I am the worlds un-funniest man anyway, seriously, I can't pull off comedic timing, nor come up with good jokes, so no wonder mine aren't as good as the rest :P

    - I once played an amusing joke where I made a man eat the bones out of his own arm.

    - You what? You think making someone eat their own ulna is funny?!

    - I thought it was humerus.

    This isn't a pun, but whatever.

    An architect, an artist, and a scientist were discussing whether it was better to spend time with the wife or a mistress.

    The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building a solid foundation for an enduring relationship.

    The artist said he enjoyed time with his mistress, because of the passion and mystery he found there.

    The scientist said, "I like both. Since, if you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume you are spending time with the other woman, and you can go to the lab and get some work done."

    The joke entire may not have been a pun, but it had one snuck in there:

    yeah, i noticed that too.

    I once knew someone who was a monorail enthusiast. He had a one track mind.

    Wow. I did not even notice that one. I usually look at the punch line for any potential puns.

    Failure indeed. Now back to the punnery, this time, with visual aides.

    A botanist had just returned from an expedition to the South
    Pacific Islands and was dicussing their adventures with their
    colleagues back at the university where they taught.
    "What was the most exciting discovery you found there?", asked a
    fellow professor.
    One of them replied, "The people native to this one island had
    discovered the most amazing cure for constipation. Using only the
    leafs of the local palm trees they concocted a suppository which
    quickly cured the ailment."
    Another professor asked, "A palm leaf suppository? Did it really
    work?"
    To which the botanist replied, "With fronds like these, who needs enemas?"

    Fine.

    A young boy accidentally swallowed a £1 coin a few days ago. He was admitted to hospital, but sadly, theres still no change.

    Then there was the guy who fell into a vat of molten optical glass after drinking too much....


    Just two glasses, and look what a spectacle he made of himself.

    Someone died in that joke.

    Yup, in a rather gruesome way, too!
