Rumor has it Golda’s husband Oscar Meyer lead a group of commandos.
To keep them mean during training they were fed nothing by wheat based food.
The only time they got to eat meat was after a successful raid, As a result
they where known
as Oscar Meyer’s all wheat meanies

I said somewhere else here that you don't make good puns, but with that Oscar Meyer one you've just redeemed yourself , you're in top form , right up there with "those who live in glass houses shouldn't stow thrones" and like the one "going across a staid lion for immortal porpoises ", you're right up there with those. I admire you. Hallock, not so much . He cheated me out of some issues of Pun Intended.

But it has to be intended. No pun is any good unless it IS intended.

Most pun magazines tried to make their puns intended, but not one in 10 did.
