The author's line, "Who handles the money in a monastery, that's nun of your business," made me laugh since I love puns. My favorite joke from Reconfigurement was that one.

"Who handles the financial matters in a monastery? That's nun of your business." This joke was so hilarious and cracked me up.

I enjoyed all the jokes made. I don't think I have a specific favourite but I loved them all.

My favourite joke was "Who handles the financial matters in a monastery? That's nun of your business." I liked the author's use of wordplay.

I really didn't have a favorite joke, but his puns were quite funny.

Actually, I really didn't enjoy the humour in this book.... But there was a joke that made me chuckle. "As an aside, I have a friend who's an IRS agent and she's often completely exhausted, you might say her job is very taxing." It's honestly corny... But it was so bad it made me laugh involuntarily.

The puns in the book were absolutely hilarious for example, "Who handles the financial matters in a monastery? That's nun of your business."

"Who handles the financial matters in a monastery? That's nun of your business." The author did not just select puns for the iambic aspects that it contained but they triggered the reader to reflect on the connotative meaning of each pun.
