Pun of the Day: 
What is the worst thing about throwing a party in space?
Answer: You have to planet

Warning! You will only get the next pun if you know latin roots! (Hehehe I know, I'm evil)
Quick Explanation: klepto means steal, so a kleptomaniac would mean someone who has an irresistible urge to steal
It's hard to explain puns to a kleptomaniac because... they always take things literally.
