I recently spent money on detergent to unclog my sink. It was money down the drain.
Footnote:
In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Act III scene 2, the Nurse brings to Juliet news of Romeo's death. Juliet, not sure of the nurse's message, punning on "ay" (yes) and "I" (reference to herself) says,
What devil art thou, that dost torment me thus?
This torture should be roar'd in dismal hell.
Hath Romeo slain himself? Say thou but "ay,"
And that bare vowel "I" shall poison more
Than the death-darting eye of cockatrice:
I am not I, if there be such an "ay";
Or those eyes shut, that make thee answer "ay."
If he be slain, say "ay"; or if not, "no":
Brief sounds determine of my weal or woeAnd I say also unto thee, That thou art
In Matthew 16:18 of the Christian Holy Bible, Jesus says to Peter,
Thou are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church...
The pun is on the name Peter and the reference to "rock." "Peter" is from Latin Petrus, earlier from Greek Petros, literally, "stone, rock."
If you prefer a less literary example, my favorite would be:
Q: What's the difference between a bird with two wings and a bird with one wing?
A: It's a matter of opinion.
A broken pencil is pointless
My bike fell because is was two-tired

There are element puns
Puns are generally not helpful in court cases as they might be seen as inappropriate or disrespectful. The use of puns can be perceived as trivializing serious matters and may not be taken seriously by judges or juries. It's important to maintain a professional and respectful demeanor in court.
Puns are a type of word play that relies on confusing similar words and phrases, often for humor. Puns can make you groan or laugh.
Dumb puns are puns that are especially groan-worthy or unoriginal, often relying on obvious wordplay or poor execution. They are seen as even less clever or humorous than regular puns.
Word play is a literary technique in which words become the focus for fun and amusement. Examples of word play are puns, spoonerisms and double entendres.
A man left a cattle ranch to his three boys and they called it Focus because it's where the sons raise meat. (sun's rays meet)
