Dad Jokes @lemmy.world ColeSloth @discuss.tchncs.de 2mo ago I sent ten different puns into a pun contest in hopes of having a winner. But no pun in ten did.
If we want to be pedantic, the setup would have ended with "... hoping to win"Then we have "no pun in ten did [win]".But really, it's fine. Bravo.
I got the joke, in fact I knew the joke. The problem here is that nowhere does it set up the "no pun did WIN".
Mate, I'm saying this in the nicest way I can: You need to rephrase this because no pun did what?
No pun in ten did.
Not one pun, of those ten puns did win
“No pun intended”
