An Op-Ed in today's New York Times discusses the glories of the pun. It's an interesting article, if a bit unfounded (why is a student at Fordham Law writing an op-ed for the NYT about puns?).
Spit Takes is actually in New York City this week, and found this article to be particularly apt, as we are getting ready to depart for lunch in Chinatown at [the?] New Yeah Shanghai Deluxe...a restaurant name that lives in that gray, swampy area somewhere between intentional puns and language barriers. Thai Me Up, a place we passed yesterday, is of course squarely in the pun district. Maybe they offer sub(missive) sandwiches?

I must mention that Spit Takes' city of residence has one lovely Thai establishment named Phuket. And, yes, they sell t-shirts.
Vietnamese and Thai restaurants (which Seattle is luckily swimming in) are generally very game about punning: "What the Pho," "Thaiger Room," etc...
