Sharon,

No matter what anyone says puns are not ethnic slurs. The very nature of puns renders the original meanings of the words, for lack of a better term, meaningless. I thought it was hilarious.

The question about wise men as opposed to wiseguys reminded me of this one.

Why are a "slim chance" and a "fat chance" the same thing?
