Stephan Pastis, the cartoonist for "Pearls before Swine" just might be a fellow paranomasiac. Today's comic strip caught my attention. I had to read it through a second time before I got it, but then I had such a good laugh.

I'm not sure what song pig is singing in the cartoon, but I've seen the movie "Moonstruck" (with Cher and Nicholas Cage) enough times to recognize the lyrics and get the joke.
I remember people inclined to leave the table after I participated in making some atrocious puns, but never has someone asked me to retire early over wordplay. :)

Re: Moonstruck on Monday ...
Tue, May 13, 2008 - 8:07 PMFrom the article:
Spider Robinson's 1993 book The Callahan Touch featured many bad puns on the lyrics, such as "When you swim in the sea/And an eel bites your knee/That's a moray", and "A New Zealander man/With a permanent tan/That's a Māori". The popularity of the book led to the creation of such puns becoming a recognized joke form in some circles. An example from the prepress industry: "When a screen hits your eye/With a strange dpi/That's a Moiré".
