A pun is not bound by the laws which limit nicer wit. 

It is a pistol let off at the ear; not a feather to tickle the intellect.

~ Charles Lamb

Yes, I know that birds of a feather flock together while a horse of a different color flocks alone.  But what about a unicorn which is half bird and half horse?  And half rhinoceros?
