A good pun may be admitted among the smaller excellencies of lively conversation.
James Boswell
A man who could make so vile a pun would not scruple to pick a pocket.
John Dennis
A pun does not commonly justify a blow in return. But if a blow were given for such cause, and death ensued, the jury would be judges both of the facts and of the pun, and might, if the latter were of an aggravated character, return a verdict of justifiable homicide.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
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.
Charles Lamb
A pun is the lowest form of humor, unless you thought of it yourself.
Doug Larson
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.
James Boswell
I think baseball - the baseball genre - is this mitt, to use a double pun there, to catch a whole bunch of themes.
Rachel Griffiths
I think the play actually became bigger than me. No pun intended.
Camryn Manheim
In Men in Black, it was a very small character, no pun intended.
Verne Troyer
It requires genius to make a good pun - some men of bright parts can't reach it.
Hannah Cowley
It was so quiet, you could hear a pun drop.
Bugs Baer
Putting your hands in the earth is very grounding, if you'll excuse the pun.
John Glover
