Editing Pun (section)

===Compounded===
A compound pun is a statement that contains two or more puns. In this case, the wordplay cannot go into effect by utilizing the separate words or phrases of the puns that make up the entire statement. For example, a complex statement by [[Richard Whately]] includes four puns: "Why can a man never starve in the [[Sahara|Great Desert]]? Because he can eat the sand which is there. But what brought the sandwiches there? Why, [[Noah]] sent Ham, and his descendants mustered and bred."<ref name="ages">{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/28/opinion/28Tartakovsky.html | work=The New York Times | title=Pun for the Ages | first=Joseph | last=Tartakovsky | date=28 March 2009}}</ref> This pun uses ''sand which is there/sandwiches there'', ''[[Ham (son of Noah)|Ham]]/ham'', ''mustered/mustard'', and ''bred/bread''. Similarly, the phrase "piano is not my forte" links two meanings of the words ''forte'' and ''piano'', one for the dynamic markings in music and the second for the literal meaning of the sentence, as well as alluding to "pianoforte", the older name of the instrument. Compound puns may also combine two phrases that share a word. For example, "Where do [[mathematician]]s go on weekends? To a Möbius strip club!" puns on the terms ''[[Möbius strip]]'' and ''[[strip club]]''.
