Re: More Puns!

I'm not an English professor, but the last two were not puns.

pun is defined as: A play on words which have the same sound but different meanings; an expression in which two different applications of a word present an odd or ludicrous idea; a kind of quibble or equivalent.

Shockingling low-class example:
Fingolfin's favorite Beatle was Ringil Star.
