Pun-believable
I'm British. A terrible weakness for puns has been imprinted onto what passes for my brain by the all-dominating national culture, particularly the news media:
And yes that includes the BBC, that bastion of respectability:
In fact there seems to be some law that every hairdresser in the land HAS to have a goddawful punning name:
And this chippy is but five minutes from my house:
I admit to several punny titles for my short stories over the years: Going Out with a Bang: The Icing on the Cake: Issues and Returns: Grinding. But John the cover artist for my soon-to be-republished story howled in complaint at this one!
I don't know what his problem is!
The best title I ever saw for an erotic story, btw, was Exes and Whys - which I believe was by Nikki Magennis. Puns don't have to be crude double-entendres ...
But it doesn't hurt 😜
