Shakespeare, for a few puns, made use of the fact that sole and soul sound the same. For example in Romeo and Juliet, Romeo, as he was wont to do, complains:
Not I, believe me: you have dancing shoes
With nimble soles: I have a soul of lead
So stakes me to the ground I cannot move.
Well, had I been able to talk to Shakespeare, I would have convinced him to add a fishing scene into the play so that the sole fish could be added into the pun mix. Since, I missed Shakespeare’s last appearance at the Improv, I wrote my own triple soulless pun.
