Puns are Pun-ish-ing

My photographer thinks he is funny.  When he is feeling really good, he makes puns all day long.  Sometimes they make me laugh but most of the time and sometimes they just make me groan.  Does that make him a pundit?

PUNS: the usually humorous use of a word in such a way as to suggest two or more of its meanings or the meaning of another word similar in sound.

A pun is a figure of speech which consists of a deliberate confusion of similar words or phrases for rhetorical effect, whether humorous or serious. A pun can rely on the assumed equivalency of multiple similar words (homonymy), of different shades of meaning of one word (polysemy), or of a literal meaning with a metaphor. Bad puns are often considered to be cheesy.

Walter Redfern (in Puns, Blackwell, London, 1984) succinctly said:
"To pun is to treat homonyms as synonyms".

My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned because I couldn't concentrate.

Now I am going to have to figure out how to Pun train David. 

Maybe I can send him to a Punitentiary?
