What is a Pun?

                     What is a Pun?

According to: www.literarydevices.net/pun,
A pun is a play on words in which a humorous effect is produced by using a word that suggests two or more meanings or by exploiting similar sounding words having different meanings.

Examples (well-known):

• A horse is a very stable animal.
• Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
• An elephant’s opinion carries a lot of weight.
• What is the difference between a conductor and a teacher? The conductor minds the train and a teacher trains the mind.
