You might discover that puns are like limericks: once you come up with one, the rest tumble out and it's hard to put the lid back on the bottle.

"Brownian motion"... a dancing leprechaun, a junior girl scout, a dessert falling to the floor,....

"Raining cats and dogs"... that dog on the throne at the end of Pirates of the Caribbean was a reigning dog, herding cats with saddles and bridles would be reining cats, arresting dogs for being off-leash and taking them to court would be arraigning dogs,....

Even simple words often have multiple meanings: a hand of cards, hand of applause, hand-over and over-hand, a 15-hand horse, a handsome offer,....

One of the fractal patterns is called "flame", so there is old flame, flaming drunk, flamed out, flames of love, and a whole bunch more puns with burn, fire, coal, ember,....

Photography is also full of punning potential.  Camera means chamber or room.  Film over one's eyes?  Solutions?  Washing and rinsing and bleaching and burning and dodging,....

About this time, you are wondering how I managed to reach my late 50s without being strangled?
