When I first asked the question, I wanted to know "outside" stories
but afterwards I realized I wanted both. And yes, I do see how it would
be difficult to separate stories from puns, I was compiling the puns
seperately, but I'll eventually put them all in the same place,
so there's no real point in trying to keep them apart.

Short answer: I want it all.
