Hooray for puns

Ivan is being interviewed.

Interviewer

So Ivan you were the most successful spy to ever infiltrate the UK, how did you do it?

Ivan

Well MI5 were not good at finding spies, but they were very good at spotting the microdots of secrets, we'd try to send back to USSR.

Interviewer

So you could find the secrets, but ou couldn't send them home.

Ivan

That is true, but we found a way, we found Monty Python.

Interviewer

How did Monty Python help you smuggle microdots out of this country.

Ivan

Well we set up a Python fan club, and we produced a book of Spam. It was the word SPam repeated a million times, with a microdot in the 500,001 word.

Interviewer.

But how could you be so sure you'd never be checked,?

Ivan

Oh that's easy, no one inspects the spammish repetition

Hi sooty

You take a long time to get to the punchline in that one. I'd get rid of the first couple of lines and change the third line to something along the lines of 'As the most successful spy ever, you found the secrets yada yada yada...'

Otherwise it's (as) good (as a pun gets).

Dan

Hmm you're right, think I might halve.
