Right on, Bill -
As usual, Willie has spread on the puns a little too thick, referring to your Sinko de Mayo joke
as 'poor taste', 'relishing' the idea that you should be 'mustard' out, and even suggesting that
we 'catch up' to you on National Foamer Day.
OTOH, I feel compelled to disagree with the notion that puns are the lowest form of humor. Unlike the REALLY low forms of humor, which generally depend on having a victim of some sort, puns are purely intellectual word games - the only victim of which is usually the English languish.**

* Does 'Guillermo' here refer to 'Willie'? Or to 'Bill' ...
** I know, it's hard to credit Willie with any intellectual capacity at all - but at least his puns are relatively harmless.
