Pun Thread Guidelines

Good answer, all I could come up with was something about a shrubbery, and here's Monty Python with the Business News.

I've observed that some of the pun threads really push the edge of correctness, and I'd like to establish some guidelines before it gets too far out of hand. 0) All pun terms must be presented in bold text. 1) A pun term, once used, cannot be use again in the same message branch. 2) More credit is given to pun terms that are not part of another word. 3) This guideline intentionally left blank. 4) Messages that are not part of the pun thread (or branch), should not be posted within that thread/branch.

Why? If you can't spot the pun in the first place, perhaps you shouldn't be playing... 4) Messages that are not part of the pun thread (or branch), should not be posted within that thread/branch. True, but that applies to all posts, surely?

I was more concerned with our international (and quite often) clueless audience.

So if we want to make a comment without a pun do not post?:confused: Yes I am truly confused, this is a serious question. Thanks.
