Wretched wordplay is the order of the day in Austin, Texas today. The O.Henry Museum hosts its 24th annual World Championship Pun-Off. There are a series of categories of punning. In a freestyle competition punsters perform prepared material of up to 90 seconds vying for the title of Punniest of Show. In others participants are paired and given topics and time limits from which they must develop their puns.
