The Lost Art of the Pun

Due to the execrable state of English language usage, one of the dying arts is that of the pun. This use of word play has been relegated to eye-rolling attempts at humor. Here is one by the great Groucho Marx that I came across recently. It is very good!

Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.

Happy New Year!

Punning is considered the lowest form of wit in many societies, perhaps that’s the root of the problem, too much sophistication, rather than a collapse of English. Whatever that is.
