Punbox

Inbox sorted by puns.

Punbox is an alternate inbox organizer that sorts your unread email not by time received or even by size, but by your ability to respond with a witty pun. This email account add-on analyzes the subject and body of each new email and applies a topic modelling algorithm to provide you with a corpus of semantically related words -- your pun fodder. It doesn't write the puns for you; it just suggests candidate words from which you can write your own. Emails in the Punbox are sorted according to the concentration of topics in the email, single-topic (focused) emails at the top, and multi-topic (scattered) emails at the bottom. Once you have responded to an email, it is removed from the Punbox, eliminating the chance that your pun response arrives flat, 6 weeks late.

       This is an automatic response. No fun intended.

       From Reddit user Watch_Closely: “It’s hard to explain puns to kleptomaniacs because they always take things literally.”

       My Topic model met me in a Tropical motel. "I am your your pun Fodder and this my algorithm." I cooed.
