896.0. "Puns of Insertion??" by SOFBAS::TRINWARD (Wordsmith For Hire: (508) 870-0340) Thu Jun 27 1991 21:03

(Copied over from Humor: Note 468

    Here's a note for an under-utilized form of humor:
    
    	The Pun of Insertion, aka "addapun" --
    
    Two examples:
    
    	A "cremora" is an aquatic creature which attaches itself to a    
    
    	"cshark"
    
    Here's another:
    
    "C(h)amomille" is a play by 
    
    	"Dumomas"
    
    Get the picture?
    
    Now you try...
