in my best 'Wonder Years' voice:
I learned a lot that afternoon on my iMac, frantically typing up puns. I came of age that day. I learned what it means to laugh and be laughed at in return. Most of all, I remember the camaraderie, the shared hilarity and the knowledge that true friendship can always find humour where there is none.

You're right...I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself...

but THAT.IS.IT. Finito - the end

This has made me wonder...
Is there an over-arching, all-encompassing formula for shit punnery which can be applied to any QOTW? Is there a template which will work for any set of words, thus saving everyone a bit of time when coming up with convoluted stories which lead into them?

An interesting thought, no? I think Pooflake is inching ever closer to it with this post.

yeah
Δ x Δ p > = h/4π where p is the focus word, x is the resultant pun and delta measures the offset between the two, etc.

Unfortunately, in my case...

The formula is:

QOTW topic divided by 4, times google, minus any sense of humour, plus getting coat

Crackhouse...
...that formula looks an awful lot like Heisenberg's Puncertainty Principle...

Big gold star!
My subtle punning in mathematical form was recognised by a fellow geek!

Yep...
...I believe it's usually followed by Pauli's very simple Exclusion Principle, whereby anyone who drops a pun that bad is ostracised from further conversation.

ouch!
