I was recently reacquainted with the best pun I’d ever read, perhaps even the best pun on the Internet ever. Here’s the setup, a posting to AskReddit:
I’m 85% certain that there is an adult actress in my philosophy class.
Probably Lexi Belle, but I don’t know. Any suggestions on how I can know for sure? It would be too hard (and unethical) to take a picture and put it up here… and going up to her and saying, “Don’t I know you from somewhere?” would probably be a bad idea.
To which someone proposed:
Ask Lexi Belle if she has any interest in philosophy. If she says yes, then ask her which philosophers she likes. Once you get her answer, strike up a conversation with the girl in your class about these very philosophers. This will get you laid.
And then our hero, dart22, replied with the epic pun:
Isn’t this putting Descartes before the whores?
Please enjoy.
