I'm very fond of puns myself, I juse them frequently in German. I even
understand most of the English ones, but rarely get to create one in
English myself...

If you ever happen to dig out that email again, *please* forward it to
me! *drool* ;=D And to add a cross-language pun on "hose": The German
word Hose means throusers, so a German like me might accidentally say "I
hosed my Hose"... Not very punny, I know...

No, "spell checker" is just a typo, it correctly is "spelled checker"!
Hah! Just created an English pun all by myself! ;=D
