The exact language of the source does not match the hook. The source says, Les was lcary of possible puns on "The station with the KHOFF." He likely meant "cough" but are we ok to use it rather than just saying puns and allowing readers to discover? Bruxton (talk) 15:45, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Since we are not considering changing the hook I will promote it and see if it gets pushback. Bruxton (talk) 03:49, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
