Now c'mon Prue.... bad puns know no frontiers. All you have to do is get the language more or less right - they speak English of a kind down under, or so I am led to believe. And then, your cultural references need to be sufficiently accurate to allow the kind of barn-door marksmanship that such ''humour" entails.
Someone once said that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. I disagree - bad puns win out everytime. Which is why they're so difficult to avoid.
Cheers,
