Rather electrifying post. I'm afraid I have to add...
Before you go arc-ing off, I think you might have your wires crossed. I don't think that RL deserves that charge. I think you are just offering resistence to his amplitude of bad puns. I am sure if he oscilated between content and puns, or maybe just reduced the frequency of them, you two could get on the same wavelength.
Might I suggest that you might want to just ground yourself in the future to insulate yourself from the shock of his short-circuited mind. You know, like a surge protector....
(but, as his brother- I must affirm he can be such a boson sometimes. At least he doesn't spin)
