Puns are a form of humor with words.

I think puns are not just the lowest form of wit, but the lowest form of human behavior.

A good pun may be admitted among the smaller excellencies of lively conversation.

The pun exists in a social and political void, caring nothing for the issues of its day, content merely to display itself in its small cleverness.

A pun is not bound by the laws which limit nicer wit. It is a pistol let off at the ear; not a feather to tickle the intellect.

I love puns. I've been known to turn the car around just to take advantage of a good pun situation. It really is the highest form of humor.

Wit is the lowest form of humor.

Puns are the droppings of soaring wits.

I think the humor of double puns is incredible.

For my own part I think no innocent species of wit or pleasantry should be suppressed: and that a good pun may be admitted among the smaller excellencies of lively conversation.
