In the midst of craziness and chaos, some chuckles. As Ashwin says, it’s a tribute to my pun-tastic family.
From xkcd, a webcomic of ‘romance, sarcasm, math and language’. Just up my street.

Btw, there’s been an offline conversation with my uncle that you might further appreciate:

@tr: no worries. herbal sparring is fun, so long as one doesn’t look for fennel solutions.
