  1. definitely


  2. Technically yes, but not a very good one.  They're better when you use homophones.

    Here's an example from Alice in Wonderland:

    “And how many hours a day did you do lessons?” said Alice, in a hurry to change the subject.

    “Ten hours the first day,” said the Mock Turtle, “nine the next, and so on.”

    “What a curious plan!” exclaimed Alice.

    “That's the reason they're called lessons,” the Gryphon remarked: “because they lessen from day to day.”

  3. Nirvana - 'Lounge Act' right? I'd say it's more of a paradox than a pun. A pun is a phrase that deliberately exploits confusion between similar-sounding words for humorous effect.
