OP Years ago (college days) a friend told me there was only one pun composed of three separate words in a row, each of which was a homonym. Here's how it goes:
With part of their inheritance, three brothers bought a ranch. Their father (who had given them some of it, though not all - his name wasn't Lear), came on a visit, and asked them what they had decided to call it.
"Focus," said the eldest.
"Why?" asked Dad.
"Because that's where the sons raise meat." was the reply.
I have toyed with this idea for years, but have never been able to come up with something at all, let alone anything quite so neat. Do any of you know better? Or can you invent one that works? Anyone up for a four-in-pun?
