This bit baffles meThere should have been an indicator that this was meant as a multi-level pun. I mean, how did the 'that's what she said' thing start again...? Because you can make puns out of all kinds of phrases and sentences.
But you can't just submit one as 'funny' and hope people get it - that's why those puns aren't funny at all (as in, people don't even know they're supposed to be) until someone says 'that's what she said'.
But when I say 'indicator', that could (should?) mean something creative - for instance, a tracing of a Peanuts strip about puns sitting next to the box. That would have been funny.
They actually need someone to TELL them that a pun is coming up? Does that not remove the point of a pun?
