That's one of my favorites, also, Robin. I'm not at all sure if I catch all
of them, which is why I asked if anyone has a list.

Is there a word for multi-word puns? Does anyone
know of a list of Pynchon groaners? I guess my
fave TRP groaner is the GR "For DeMille, young
fur-henchmen can't be rowing."
Don't know if there is, myself, but am fond of the Marquise de Sod's
"A lawn savant who'll lop a tree" from Vineland, which just naturally
flows into:
"How much do you know of La Mayonnaise?" she inquired.
He shrugged, "Maybe up to the part that goes 'Aux armes,
citoyens'-"
