Unbridled Punnery - which makes punnery very lonely

[Bruno]

It's a good thing this punnery is unbridled.

Bridle puns are just so tacky.

The record company announced the release of rare Bob Marley concert footage during his Japanese tour.  The film is entitled, Bob Marley and the Whalers. 

They should have gone all the way, and called them "Bob Marlin, and the Whalers"

Here's the thing with puns.  Generally, you want your words to be homonyms or pretty close.  Marley and Marlin are kinda close, but not close enough.  Moreover, again, its a continuity thing.  It doesn't really make much sense to exchange Marley with Marlin, because it is a surname.  See, replacing Wailers for Whalers works because it is a homonym, AND, it provides some satirical commentary on the fact that Japan are notorious whalers.  When your puns get too nonsensical, they lose their punch.

Well, I did use the poison dart frog approach when it came to labelling the thread.  But, I know, I know, much like the dart frog, it was just to enticing right?

But I don't want to punch anyone with my puns, I want them to stink. I knew "Marlin" was dead in the water anyway, but have you ever smelled a dead Marlin?

Whether in the water, or out, it's stink, as a pun, has nothing on the stink IRL. But I included it anyway, if only to add a little Pungency. IMO, even though it's etymological source was Puny, it was almost Pungent enough to work. I was going to try and work the Way Ling smell  (when dead) but the idea didn't linger long enough to develop stink. I've had a little time now, and the association with Whaling, is starting to find a little Porpoise, and rattle around a little in my head, so I'm going to "Stir it up" a little, to sea what happens. So "Call me Fishmael (Fishmeal?)" And watch this space.

True, although within this context, as a follow-up pun, it sort of works.

The country was ruled for 40 years by a drug-addled king.  The citizens had to endure decades of acid reign.
