Spider Robinson defined puns by the reaction of the audience. They are graded as follows:

Immediate wince or goran: Pretty good
Run away screaming: Better
Dead silence for a few seconds, gasp and hold face in hands, or run away screaming: Best

Spider Robinson you say?

You're a Fan and you haven't read Spider???!?

Oh, are you in for a treat : )

Another writer I have heard of but who seems not to be sold in this country. I was directed to read one of his stories (http://www.spiderrobinson.com/melancholyelephants.html) not long ago though. Will keep an eye out.

He lives not far from me. Perhaps we could set up a book-smuggling service so you can be exposed to infected enlightened by his wordsmithery. E-mail jessie_c_2(at)hotmail(dot)com to arrange easy delivery terms. (There's a used bookstore up the hill that is overstocked with Robinson...)

I have looked at this upside down even, and I still do not get it.

There's something about "Time and Tide" in here somewhere, I take it?

[aesmael.livejournal.com]

Yup. And they aren't listening to any of those fellas.

Okay. I got it. Took me a while. I was thinking that the shapes were somehow significant, which sidetracked me.

:o)

It went over my head too, which is a shame, because I like terrible puns too.
