JoKeR wonders why puns are offensive.  As an incurable lifelong
punster, I have discovered that some people are offended by puns.
One person I met, who was especially offended by them, turned out
to be dyslexic, with an associated language deficiency.  Her
inability to return pun for pun was a great source of distress
to her, even though I had no expectations to that effect.  If
someone thinks you're playing catch with them, it's best not to
toss them a ball that they can't toss back.

I'm sadder but wiser for the experience.  I'm sure she'll learn
to toss back the ball in time.  But puns aren't just for hams
or low brows.  They make you stout and are good for what ails you.
