An example of a pun is Sampson saying to Gregory that he was going to cut off the heads of the maidens. While this sounds like he was going to cut off their heads he puns on "taking their maidenheads" which means he will take their virginity.

Sampson: I will be cruel with the maids--I will cut off their heads.

Gregory: The heads of the maids?

Sampson: Ay, the heads of the maids, or their maidenheads. Take it in what sense thou wilt.

(Most puns in Shakespeare are more subtle than this, but Gregory and Sampson are not exactly the brightest buttons on the coat.)
