Did you hear about the optometrist who fell into a lens grinder and made a spectacle of himself? Or the sausage that was sent to jail – it was a term for the wurst. And let’s not forget the advice young Luke Skywalker got about eating spaghetti – “Use the forks, Luke.” Ah yes, a good pun is its own reword (geddit?). And with so many literary types in the city for WORD Christchurch, there should be some seriously good groaners on Friday at the Christchurch Pun Battle Championships. So if you think you have what it takes to roll with the punsters, get along to A Rolling Stone on Friday (May 17). Find it on Facebook.
