  • Match the pun to the person. A teacher wants warmth, a friend wants a laugh, and a crush wants something light.
  • Say it out loud first. If it sounds awkward, change a word.
  • Add a doodle. A tiny drawing next to a pun makes it ten times better.
  • Don’t use five in a row. One great pun beats a pile of average ones.
