It turns out that there are masochists in this world who actually
devote ENTIRE WEB PAGES to Feghoots (variously also known as Shaggy
Dog stories and Groaners, they are roughly defined as exceptionally
short stories, differentiated from regular stories by the fact that
they end in a pun or a spoonerism - or both).

One such page:

...contains my all-time favorite Feghoot, by Spider Robinson:

What a way to waste an afternoon.  I honestly wish that WAS what I'd
done today, rather than what I did, which was boring and not nearly as
funny.
