Heard on the Radio: The O'Henry Pun-off

The O’Henry Pun-off has been staged every year in Austin since 1977 in the backyard of the O’Henry Museum. “Would-be word butchers from around the world make it one of the puniest shows on earth”, say the promotional materials.

We introduced Mark and David at Left Jab to chief punster and emcee Gary Hallock. Then they all went at it with puns that included the "Witless Protection Program" and "Wit Dreams". You can only imagine.

If you want to hear it for yourself, you can hear Left Jab on Xm Radio's Channel 167 at Saturday at 11 a.m., with a repeat on Sunday at 1 p.m. (Times are Eastern).

A couple of days after that the segment can be retrieved as a podcast at the website: http:www.leftjabradio.com
