@very-rusty saidIn fairness sir,....we did. 🙂
If we were to listen to you and your claims, the British invented pretty much everything in existence. 🙂
Next you'll be telling us they invented the game of Hockey. 🙂

You have much to learn about "ICE HOCKEY"!!! 🙂
Can hockey be played on grass?
What is grass hockey called?
Field hockey | Rules, History, & Facts | Britannica
field hockey, outdoor game played by two opposing teams of 11 players each who use sticks curved at the striking end to hit a small, hard ball into their opponent's goal. It is called field hockey to distinguish it from the similar game played on ice. field hockey.
Ice Hockey has 12 players on the ice at the same time not 11 on each team! 🙂 A puck is used in ice hockey, not a ball. 🙂

@very-rusty saidHockey precedes ice hockey by at least several centuries, earning the right to simply be called 'hockey.'

@very-rusty saidPunning is a funny business. Rusty Bucket, for instance, plays on the meaning of Rusty's name and adds a humorous twist by suggesting that Rusty is a bit of a 'bucket' or a container, possibly implying that he's full of something, whether it's knowledge, stories, or just a good time. Well, we can assume that a bucket, if it's too rusty due to age and exposure to the elements, will hardly hold anything at all.
Are you now asking yourself the question Ghost? 🙂

Depending on what we are smoking at the time of the pun, it can be misunderstood as having a good time.
This would be 129, if I'm on time.

We can keep this thread alive if we make it necessary that each successive post has to contain a pun. A pun can also be an invented one.
Puns are generally intended to be humorous, but they can also serve a serious purpose in literary works. They are a form of wordplay that relies on the double meaning of words or phrases to create a humorous effect.
They tell us that puns have been present in various cultures and writing systems for a long time, dating back to ancient civilizations like the Sumerians and Egyptians. They were even used in the writing systems of these civilizations, such as Egyptian hieroglyphs, which were based on systems of punning.
Here is a song which incorporates some punning, as an example.
