PARONOMASIA

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

Seven days of punning makes one weak.

A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But why?"
they asked, as they moved off.
"Because," he said, "I can't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer."

paronomasia.. that's good word! I had to look it up..means pun!
I wonder if there is another word that means a pun on a word meaning pun.

If fruit flies are like bananas I'd hate to see the size if the fruit that they are hovering around.
