| Last night, I heard a similar interview on NPR's ATC program.
The dinner was advertised as having many courses; one meat dish
was to be supplied by a less-than-excellent German restaurant;
the interviewee was not pleased; the wurst was yet to come.
The active punster quoted a favorite (the Oriental drunk who
tied one on) but got caught by the NUP!
NUP is PUN spelled backwards; and a NUP is enough!

| The Chairman of the Bored (sic) missed the
proceedings, but sent his regards
"on this august occasion; next year they
should hold it in September."

| The full joke is:
Honeymoon salad - Lettuce alone with no dressing
This works great when you're at a restaurant salad bar, watching some
extremely attractive person dishing themselves some romaine from the
vast horizontal satellite dish. You just HAVE to have an excuse to
say something to them, so you sidle up and say, with a Groucho sneer,
"I see you like honeymoon salad!". They invariably say "Huh?". And
you can deliver the tome: "You know, lettuce alone with no dressing !".
And of course, you say it loud enough for others at the salad bar
to hear. That way, if your attractive subject turns out to be
a real bubble head and doesn't get it, SOMEONE else in ear shot will,
and you won't be embarrased.

| Drove my wife to Boston so she could shop at Jorden Marsh. When
I came early to pick her up there was no place to put the car so
i eased it over a pit in the road to wait for her. The workmen
were finishing their lunch break so I told them I was waiting to
spot my wife. When she didn't show right away one worker impatiently
said, "Mister, spot or get off the pit!"

| 226.5 | Yes, Virginia, there is a Pun Foundation | USMRM2::MGRACE | Proud owner of Edwin Newman's autograph | Wed Sep 24 1986 13:09 | 7 |
| My father is a member of the "International Save the Pun Foundation,"
run by a fellow named John Crosbie, in Toronto. I got him a one-year
membership as a gift several years ago, and have renewed it every
year since! They have monthly newsletters, each with a contest
for the best pun on a particular theme. Membership is something
like $12 a year, and if you're interested, I can get the exact address.
