Haha I'm just curious, where's the pun in that?  hmm.gif

Im curious too. Dont see any PUN pun(B.Malaysia) in that sentence. A PUN is something like this:-

Captain Aubrey: "Do you see those two weevils, Doctor?...Which would you choose?"
Dr. Maturin: "Neither. There's not a scrap of difference between them. They're the same species of Curculio."
Captain Aubrey: "If you had to choose. If you were forced to make a choice. If there were no other option."
Dr. Maturin: "Well, then, if you're going to push me. I would choose the right-hand weevil. It has significant advantage in both length and breadth."
Captain Aubrey: "There, I have you!...Do you not know that in the service one must always choose the lesser of two weevils?"

The last line uses a pun on the stock phrase "the lesser of two evils".

To forgive, divine.

No worries, all in the name of PUN. (Pun definitely well-intended) wink.gif

I suggest we take any further talk on these OT parts on PM rather than taking space on this thread, the rest want their thread back. wink.gif
