Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
“And wherever the pun appears, it seems that controversy is never far behind. Modern scholars, in fact, can’t even agree on the etymology of the word itself.”
Pages 4-5, The Pun Also Rises by John Pollack

Hi Jennifer,
Great teaser lines and book this week.
I just love books like this, that you can dip in and out of.
I shall have to take a note of this one, as a gift idea for my husband. He loves anything like this and spends his time making up silly rhymes for greetings cards etc.
My teaser lines for this week, are here although I am unable to link as your right click is disabled:

It is about the history and usage of puns throughout history and how prominent puns are in today’s society. I highly recommend it.

You are most welcome and yes, the book is fabulous.
I never really thought about puns before! But now I am curious, is this a book about the history of puns?

Yes from the beginning of written word to present day, puns have been used and debated over. It is a fun and informative book.
Doesn’t seem like what I usually read, but definitely seems interesting.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting!
I found the history (beginning of written word), the debates puns brought out, the usage throughout history to the blatant use today to be fun and informative.
O I like that!
Thanks for the quote and for visiting my blog
I am glad, it is truly a wonderful and informative book.
I like this teaser! Thanks for visiting my blog!

I am very sorry for the difficulties. I went over my blog yesterday and there was an application which disabled right-clicking, which I have taken down. PC friends went over my blog with me and all appears to be functioning fine.
