A series of puns of variable quality

(0 Sterne)

Funny in places, but perhaps best listened to in chapters, between other longer works. Listening to serveral chapters sequentially, because of the format, wears down the capacity to enjoy puns. In part this may be because it seems like the recording has been speeded up slightly, perhaps 5 or 10%, so there is no pause between puns.
