I've just given this article a major rewrite. I cleared up a bunch of issues it had, and addressed a few concerns on the talk page (most of which is quite old, though). I'd like a PR to find and clear up anything I missed.

I went through it and clarified a few things, and added some new examples. Some of the prose could be more direct. That's a subjective quality, to be sure, but if you look at what I changed maybe you can get a feel for it. I also removed two [citation needed]s for what I thought were uncontroversial statements. I also feel like there isn't a lot of criticism of puns as "groaner' jokes. This might be something to work in somewhere. HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 19:16, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Finetooth comment: This isn't yet a suitable candidate for PR because of the major clean-up banner. The topic sounds like fun, and the puns are funny. However, you need to address the question of sourcing before anything else. Much of the article is unsourced and in violation of WP:V. My rule of thumb is to provide at least one source for every paragraph, every set of statistics, every claim that has been challenged or is apt to be challenged, and every direct quote. Please consider re-submitting after the article is properly sourced and the tags removed. Finetooth (talk) 04:47, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
