Still on the teaching syllabus of the [[Fools&#039; Guild]] and compulsory reading for all student Fools and Clowns, M. Pune&#039;s masterwork dissects the nature of that form of wit and humour which untutored, somewhat rural, people have been using, on a crude and unschooled basis, since the very dawn of language, involving that play on words which is now eponymously known as the Pune after the man who exemplified the type.<br /> <br /> Pune devotes 160,000 words on defining the Five Great Classes and seventy-three sub-classes of the Pune or play on words, which all students at the Guild are expected to commit to memory on pain of pain. Pune&#039;s stand-up routine made him memorable in all parts of the Disc where he performed, as he was the first man to perfect the art of pronouncing brackets, a valuable tool in dealing with rustic audiences lacking in intellect who would otherwise be too slow to get the point. Observe the following, a joke in fact originated by Pune, for which he was tarred and feathered and left for dead:-<br /> <br /> Q:- When is a door not a door?<br /> <br /> A:- When it&#039;s ajar! (a jar). <br /> <br /> Shortly afterwards he travelled to [[Ankh-Morpork]], fuming inside that Quirmians simply did not appreciate his lofty and elevated humour, hoping to find a more responsive audience there...<br /> <br /> [[Category:Discworld publications]]</div>
