There is the one that "M" said to Bond, James Bond, regarding his skills as a linguist. 
"James, you are a very cunning linguist"
Or the two language teachers in a relationship. One wanted to conjugate, the other wished to decline.

Some puns are really awful. Some are clever. A few are both ...
I came across one today which I really liked - Now is the winter of our discount tents!

Somehow, I missed that thread at the time. If you really did invent that pun - congratulations - I love it!

I should be very surprised if that was the first time that pun was used in history!

A quick search found it being used in 2008, so User482 was not the first!

Most wordplay is "manufactured" in advertising agencies now or is rehashed from previous usage - it's very rare to find anything homespun now.
