I remember back in 8th grade when we studied humor in English class. Our teacher told us that people groan at puns because they wish they had said it first. I didn't believe her. She then told this pun.
A king decided to imprison his court jester for telling so many bad puns. After a few days, the king went to the prison and told the jester that if he stopped telling bad puns, he would let him go. The jester replied, "Oh pun the door".
Groan - but I don't wish I had said it first.
BTW - school was much easier then. We had a lot fewer states to memorize.
