Article 5 of our Code of Honor states that a true comedian shall always strive to be pun-derful. A well-crafted pun shall be the cornerstone of any good joke, and a comedian who can't tell a decent one shall be relegated to the depths of obscurity.
But, alas, a well-timed pun is a delicate art. A forced pun shall be met with scorn and ridicule, and the perpetrator shall be castigated for their crimes against humor. Example: "I'm not lazy, I'm just on energy-saving mode... like a battery!"
For a comedian, the key to success lies in balance. Too many puns and you're a laughingstock; too few and you're a snooze-fest. The perfect blend of humor and wit shall be the hallmark of any great comedic genius.
A true comedian shall not be limited to the stage or screen. Puns shall be wielded like a trusty sword, slicing through the mundane and leaving a trail of laughter and tears in their wake. Example: "I'm not arguing, I'm just explaining why I'm right... like a lawyer."
And so, dear comedians, remember: the purity of puns is a sacred trust. Use them wisely, and use them well.
