Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide is the reason that I like puns so much, he says. "I read this book probably once a year and I get to this line and I wouldn't understand it because there's little, some switch in my brain just haven't quite gone to the on position" He adds: 'It's not just complicated about this... It is literally an idiotic pun but there's something there about finding that connection.'
