I sent ten different puns into a pun contest in hopes of having a winner. (discuss.tchncs.de)

Having looked it up, you are technicly correct.

It does feel like a very minor imprecision though, especially in a pun community on the internet where half the people dont speak english as a first language.

The entire point is the wordplay though.

"I want to be cremated as it is my last hope for a smoking hot body."

"I want to be cremated as it is my last hope to be sexy."

Now i really owe you a apology

Because i only now realize the second layer that “no pun in ten did” was the winning pun. Right?

Its still somewhat funny without that dept and i got caught on that.

I dont think op knew this themselves but i very much understand your point now. I recall an experience myself where i knew a joke well and then heared half of that joke. Yeah i get it now.

Thanks for your pantience.
