Meditation on the Unintended Pun (Link)

Here is a lovely meditation on the Unintended Pun, and how much joy and beauty it can bring into our lives. Ms. Cohen sees this marvel of our brains, from "some force not strictly in our command," not as something to discard as vulgar or crude, but as a jewel to admire: "existing in fantastic invisible abundance, contained for example in the very alphabet blocks of our humble speech, and if only seldom deigning to arrange themselves into patterns that met the eye, glittering rather marvelously when they did."
