“A great sign of linguistic intelligence is in the use the puns”
Completely disagree. Puns are just so obvious. I suppose there must be some people for whom puns aren’t obvious. It would make sense that puns would be funny to them. They’re surprised by certain new combinations of words instead of just seeing them as obvious and tedious. Dealing with grown-ups who find puns funny is sort of like dealing with a small child who is learning something you’ve known for 30 years. You have to be patient and understand it’s new and interesting to the child.
DeLepp, I like the hallway with the tree trunks the best. The rest of the place is too much like an expensive theme park. I absolutely HATE antler chandeliers!
I do agree with Lech that puns appeal to children.
That’s why I’ve always thought of them as a “kinder” form of humour.

A great sign of the lack of linguistic intelligence is the constant use of curse words.
You’re welcome to your opunion, lech.
Only a lawyer could make a case against puns.
Lech, I think you are taking this way too seriously.
You may suffer from punphobia.

Says a lot about the people who participate in punfests and those who run for the hills when they start.
Young women have kept me intact for years.
