If you didn't know yet, I love puns. I've heard many of them. Sometimes I feel like I've heard them all. Then, a friend shows you a really good one, a pun that is almost too clever and beautiful for its own good. Here it is, for your enjoyment (Warning: Disney references):
"What do you get when Sleeping Beauty gives a lecture [about] the Northern Lights to the people in Wonderland?"
[wait for it...]
"Aurora boring Alice."
It's so clever, isn't it? I'm grateful to be the recipient of a wonderfully gorgeous new pun today.
P.S.--If the joke went over your head, I give a brief explanation in the comments below.
"Aurora boring Alice" sounds similar to "aurora borealis," which is the more technical term for the Northern Lights. Aurora is the name of the princess in Disney's "Sleeping Beauty," and Alice is the main character in Disney's "Alice in Wonderland."
