ANST - Pun Taxes - (was: Lame Humor?)

[Frank D. Jurgens]

Greetings to all and Sundry Punsters

I feel the need to inform you, should you venture to the Barony of Loch
Soilleir, that I have instituted Pun Taxes.  Proceeds of which will enhance
the general revenue of Loch Soilleir (taxes to be collected as some event
to be determined).  The current levy is one quarter of a dollar per pun. 
This may be increased at the Baron's discretion if the pun is REALLY bad.

In a previous message, Aquilanne execssively punned the following:

Using this as an example it would have cost the punster at least four
dollars, had the punning occured in Loch Soilleir (within my hearing;  If I
don't hear it, I don't tax it).

Warmest Regards

Leofric
Baron of Loch Soilleir
