It does feel like a very minor imprecision though, especially in a pun community on the internet where half the people dont speak english as a first language.
Because i only now realize the second layer that “no pun in ten did” was the winning pun. Right?
Its still somewhat funny without that dept and i got caught on that.
I dont think op knew this themselves but i very much understand your point now. I recall an experience myself where i knew a joke well and then heared half of that joke. Yeah i get it now.

“I want to be cremated as it is my last hope to be sexy.”
Now i really owe you a apology
