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.

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