Dear Doc
I can't remember specific examples, but Alice in Wonderland is full of conundrums.
Remember the school being run by a turtle? Why? "Because he tortoise" (probably need Brit pronunciation for that). But it's full of that sort of stuff, and I'd guess that the first definition you have may well have come from the Victorian fascination with word games.
