Puns (they are never called "pun jokes") are jokes based on the ambiguity of two similar sounding words or phrases, or between different meanings of the same word. "It's no wonder I'm bald, when I just saw Mein Herr walk out the door." is a pun on the German word "Herr" and the English word "hair". Riddles are often pun based. "Where do money soldiers go? To their quarters." is a pun on "quarters" (25 cent pieces) and "quarters" (soldiers' barracks). Puns are often off-colour, when one of the meanings of the word is innocent and the other naughty. Such puns are called double entendres. E.g., a girl in a dress is walking through the school library, when she looks down and there is a boy lying on the ground with the last volume of the Encyclopedia of Astronomy. "What are you doing down there?" she asks. "I'm looking up Uranus."
