The Bad Joke Generator

The ultimate in lameness:
Bad Joke Generator

According to the blurb on the site, it says:
The Bad Joke Generator autogenerates terrible, terrible puns about any person or object or archetype, based on the keywords you give it. You need never buy another Christmas cracker again.


(See, Robert? I'm not that lame after all... this computer program beats even Jitsy, KC, Weizhu and me - all of us combined! LOL!)

Tried the following:
Subject: Guitar
Keywords: strings, chords, strumming

Results?
What's guitar's favourite film?
Lord of the Strings...

(all together now... *groan*)

For more lame guitar jokes...

Actually, think I figured out how this program works... it works by comparing the keywords with matching homonyms. It's not perfect, but it does get by.

Ingenious, isn't it... conceptually it's very simple, but think so far this seems to be the only pun generator around so far.
