You misunderstood. I was not talking about you, but about puns.
Are puns an instance of humour? It seems to me that puns are often
clever, witty, but I don't think they are humour. However, and this may
only be my impression, don't puns attempt to be humour? I enjoy clever,
witty conversation but there is something about puns that annoy me. I
think it is that pretension of being humour.
Anyways, that is the background for my comment. I apologize if it
seemed personal.
Sincerely,
