“If you’re terned off – I mean, “turned” off – by puns, don’t go away. The ol’ punster has terned (make that “turned”) over a new leaf. I promise not to punctuate this paragraph with such punishments as no stone unterned, no U-terns – no more awful puns. Just the facts: a Roseate Tern and some Ruddy Turnstones share a pebbly beach along the…WAIT! I CAN’T STAND IT ANY LONGER! Ternabout’s fair play. No terning back now. The ol’ punster has passed the point of no retern.’ – C. Harper
