Well, let's see.  Puns are period--unless you are a herald in which case you 
cant.
Dukes are certainly period.  Therefore it should logically follow that Duke 
Puns are
period as well.

I always thought we were supposed to duck puns.  If it floats it is a pun, 
if it sinks,
it was apparently not a pun--or least not a very good pun.  Or is that duck 
puns as
in to dodge them?  I cant remember.....
