Mind you, this volume has been the subject of so many rewrites, I should have found editing a whole lot easier this time around!
Editing is a rewording activity.

A couple of years back I watched a video debunking a claim by a Flat Earth believer that the salt flats in a certain South American country prove the Earth to be flat. I was moved to comment... and triggered a pun barrage. Here are the highlights.

Yastreb
Santos Bonacci: "These salt flats prove the Earth is flat."
Everybody else: "I don't Bolivia!"

Well, that pun fell flat... :) (Actually a good one!)

Drats! The report button has boxes for spam, violence and porn but I cannot find the weapon grade pun option.

I was expecting a Chile reception, to be honest.

These Guayana roll! There’s Germany of these country-related puns, but yet, somehow I’m still Hungary for more! Armenia more of these can there be possibly be? If you find more, Kenya guys please let us know? Ukrain share them here if you want, and Tibet you will! Oh where’s my manners… if it costs you anything to share them, Belize let me know and I’m Ghana Togo ahead send you a Czech.

This thread went South America fast. I'm Guyana leave before someone starts to wonder about my Suriname.

If you're Hungary for more, don't worry. We'll Fiji.
Yastreb (DanielGBenesScienceShows)
Am I Russian to provide more puns? Yes, Siam!
bobblum5973
There's a Brazilian more puns where these came from!
Yastreb
People can't stand these puns. They want to complain to whoever is in charge. They're shouting, "Get the Bosphorus!"
bobblum5973
The Science Fiction author Spider Robinson noted that "Shared pain is lessened, shared joy increased." He is also known as writing some wonderfully horrendous puns. I think the two things are related.
Yastreb (DanielGBenesScienceShows)
Check out the short story compilation "Callahan's Cross-time Saloon," where you'll find a plethora of puns (but no pinatas...)

DanielGBenesScienceShows (Yastreb)
I’ll check that out! PS- I wrote a book about puns once. It was made out of paper. It was tearable. I wrote the first draft with a pencil, but the pencil tips kept breaking. So I switched to a pen, because writing with a pencil was pointless.

And it occurs to me: dunno if it had died by the time you joined the Forum, but if you enjoyed Callahan’s you might well find some interest in the Forum thread ‘Crossroads’, which was set in a similarly weird bar. We had a lot of fun there. Can’t find it now, but it is probably somewhere among Forum Memories?

And on a slightly different note of SF and F writers with weird senses of humour, was it Isaac Asimov who wrote a book about Limericks?

Can somebody explain to me why are we supposed to pretend we hate puhs? When obviously we love them. I know I do, and I’m sure many of you do too, or otherwise you wouldn’t spend all this time and creativity coming up with them. I feel like this is a phenomenon in English, not so much in Finnish. I think good puns should be appreciated and applauded! Go puns!

Jitter, I agree with you. But my understanding is that a hearty groan is a sign of appreciation of a really good pun in English. Whereas in many languages a finely crafted pun is openly admired for its artistry.

Yastreb, this was gold from start to Finnish.  Puns are reputed to be the lowest Formosa humour.

I have no memory of a bar thread?  Likely to have been operational in 2014 before I joined, or in 2015 when I was still too scared of how fast the forum moved to participate much.  It may have been in the Good Morning Thread the corresponding Eich's Goodnight Thread.
