I hate puns, but for some reason I really hate ones about bread (“Why did the baker work so many hours? He kneaded the dough!”), and I really, really hate ones about buns (“With his buns you could open a hamburger joint!”)

It’s not so much about the wordplay, I guess, as it is about the food itself. Pretty much every bun I’ve had has been inferior to any other bread.

You ask me, the bun is the lowest form of wheat.

A visual [bun pun](https://img.memecdn.com/buns-and-puns_o_2538519.jpg). It’s the yeast I can do.
