					<description>I'm not sure the pun or pain dichotomy is true.. consider this one by Hedberg:

 &lt;i&gt;My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana, I said "No, but I want a regular banana later, so ... yeah".&lt;/i&gt;

I wouldn't call it a pun.. as it relies on a literal (but not excessively literal) reading.  And certainly it doesn't seem particularly painful to anyone (other than perhaps slightly disconcerting the listener, which seems to me, more than anything else, to be the essence of humor).</description>
