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.
