One of the journals I submitted to explicitly banned puns or wordplay in their titles, which felt unnecessarily grumpy

Half of the most famous papers in my discipline have good pun titles.

What's your discipline?

I'm not aware of a lot of fun wordplay, but we do make some good jokes sometimes.

Only once in a lifetime does such a good pun opportunity come up in a scientist's career
