This hashtag will provide your daily dose of groan-worthy puns

Just let yourself go. Embrace the punnage.

THERE IS NOTHING wrong with indulging in a little wordplay every once in a while. In fact, we’d consider it a very healthy activity.

#1PUN is a daily Twitter competition in which players submit their best pun between 1pm and 1.10pm using the hashtag #1PUN.

The authors are the best five puns are awarded points, and the players with the highest points at the end of the month win a prize. Wow.

These may not be the winners, but here are some of the greats from today’s battle. Warning: They’re all fairly groan-worthy.

When the vicar came up to me with the collection tray, I ran off with all the money.

My new job is to observe filled pastry consumption in Antigua, or if you like, watching pie rates of the Caribbean. #1PUN
