Admire the attempt but this just didn't really make much sense

  It's so agarvating when puns miss their mark.

  heh, normally how these friendly call-response threads work is someone either yes-and's the attempt [1] or ignores/downvotes it. Just because we're on HN, that doesn't mean puns need to be critiqued -- even if they are agaravatingly bad :) [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes,_and.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes,_and...

    It kinda does, though. I like that HN has a very high bar for humor, and cracks down on soft-pitch puns which are an attempt at a long chain of groaners. Reddit exists, and if you like that, you can get it on Reddit. Here it's just noise. We have other bad habits ;)

      Here you have to make a plausible argument that the expert who spent their life studying something has no idea what they're talking about and you somehow know better, or manage to one-up the parent who just did something like that with some exceptionally high-grade sophistry.
