Unlike cracker jokes, witty shop signs -- signs of genius from the pun world -- really make me laugh. Then I discovered this photographic collection of fifty brilliantly named shop puns.
Is there a better photographic collection out there which showcases examples of humour from real life? Maybe, but it is most certainly a close call.
Ones that did not make the gallery of awesome store of puns, strictly for lack of space, include:
Peking In
Sofa So Good
Lox, Stock & Bagel
C U Latte
Chipsy King
