Now, you just know I couldn't let this one go by without comment, Ellie-kun.
1) I've always been a punster, but I think it took the obituary of Ewell (Uell? the old Grapenuts spokesman and naturalist) Gibbons to really make me realize it. He died of natural causes.
2) Several years ago, my mother brought home some frozen yogurt (Something that was still very new at the time) Crowley's Peach Frozen Yogurt to be exact. She and I both liked it, but my father didn't. "It doesn't have any taste," He said. My mother replied, "It does have taste." To which, I immediately added "And culture, too."
3) A short time after the above incident, Mother was in the store buying more of that yogurt and met up with a sales representative of the company that made the yogurt. When he asked her how she liked it, she said she did and told him the above pun. He didn't get it. However, not all that long ago, I recall seeing a package of frozen yogurt, not Crowley's though, that had as a sales slogan "All this taste, and culture too!" I should sue, but I'm not one to cry over spoilt milk.
Lastly, I'll leave you with a pair of links. The first one has all sorts of jokes and puns including the one I was looking for to put in this post. Isaac Asimov's "Death of a Foy." Let the reader beware... http://www.apc.net/ia/znovel.htm
And this site also has that story, plus bunches and bunches of other shaggy dog stories... www.awpi.com/Combs/Shaggy
