/p> p>PLEASE, do not throw away number 2, "That old peanut farmer, Jimmy Carter, taught the Democratic Party a great deal: since his departure they have produced a consistent harvest of nuts." The only change that needs to be made is change Democratic Party to Democrat Party, as there is nothing Democratic about their party. If you don't agree with them you are GONE. br> -- Elaine Kyle /p>

If those were the rejects then TAS is indeed America's cleverest magazine. But then, we already knew that.

Among your scarce peers is the Wall Street Journal, which once carried the headline, "Pasta Maker Uses Its Noodle to Whip Competition." There's also another nationally reviewed magazine that's excellent, but you folks are tops.

p>By the way, you may want to purchase a paper shredder lest Jason Blair, Joe Biden, Dan Rather, or some such finds plagiarizable material in your trash dumpster while gathering discarded food and cigarette butts. br> -- R. Trotter br> Arlington, Virginia /p>

All hail the King of Punsters! Soon Jay Homnick will surpass Shakespeare: "If you call for me on the morrow you will find me a grave man."

And calling Michael Moore a Trencherman is priceless, especially if you consider the archaic definition: "a parasite." That qualifies as a double pun in my book.

p>Puns are held in unwarranted disrespect. Permit me to share my favorite: There was the king who got so frustrated at his court jester's puns that he forbade him to tell another one on pain of death by being hung. But alas, the jester punned again, and on the way to the gallows he passed by the king, who was overcome with regret. So the king offered the jester the same deal again, no puns, no death, whereupon the jester said, "No noose is good news." and died happy.
