Mr. Herman Melville and I, it would seem, are brothers from other mothers.

In his highly-acclaimed novel Moby Dick, or The White Whale he unleashes one of the worst puns in human history, calling a cow whose two front hooves are stepping on discarded fish ‘slip-shod.’

Melville might claim that the opunions of Ishmael are not necessarily his own–but I know a Pun-Brother when I read one. 🙂
