Not all puns are created equal. Some tickle, some sting, and some should be reported to the authorities.

- Medium: earns one disappointed look
- Severe: friendships have ended over these

A quick note on how this post came together: the idea arrived in our tips inbox, survived two editorial meetings, one argument about whether it was actually funny, and a vote that was decided by the office cat walking across the keyboard. We cleaned it up, checked every detail, and added only the jokes we could defend in front of our mothers.
