Like a good pun, stay with a natural reaction and don't push a reply.
I agree. I find that the best ones come in desperate situations, such as when it's third and long and time to pun . . .
Puns developed in MUD chat last Wed relating to a future story idea were relayed to our good Dr. Brin. I recieved a one word reply, and for a change, all caps:
AAAARRRRGGGHH!
Is there something about the mindset necessary to being an astronomer which also make one like outrageous puns? My students would really, really like to know (and find a cure, if possible).
I think some of them may have been useful.

The most serious part was the underline comment. Can something electronic be jammed by remote control. Or would an EMP drop people?
