Take a Break – A Pun on Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious


Because We Need This Diversion

In its review of a book on puns the Economist selects may be one of the best puns ever.

"Yet puns demand intelligence, creativity and general knowledge: the best draw on cultural references, allude to several things at the same time and are intricately constructed (such as the one about Mahatma Gandhi, who walked barefoot a lot and often fasted, leading to bad breath, thus making him a “super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis”)."

Enjoy, it doesn’t get any better than that.
