If you love puns you'll be tuned in on Thursday AM UK time to Radio 4's new comedy show Current Puns
A sample from the trail: If you throw an explosive device into a French kitchen do you get linoleum blown apart?

I can't get it, so I can only offer this:
King Ozymndias of Assyria was running low on cash after years of war with the Hittites. His last great possession was the Star of the Euphrates, the most valuable diamond in the ancient world. Desperate, he went to Crosus, the pawnbroker, to get a loan.
Crosus said, "I'll give you 100,000 dinars for it."
"But I paid a million dinars for it," the king protested. "Don't you
know who I am? I am the king!"
Crosus replied, "When you wish to pawn a Star, makes no difference who you are."

RRRRRRRRRRoar! 
I think she meant she can't get Radio 4 ... BUT YES SHE CAN ... ONLINE!!! Go to the link I provided a few hours after the show is broadcast live and there should be a "listen again" facility.
