"I sent in 10 jokes in hopes of having a winner. No pun in ten did (have a winner(??))."
"I sent in 10 jokes in hopes of one winning. No pun in ten did (win)."
Having looked it up, you are technicly correct.
It does feel like a very minor imprecision though, especially in a pun community on the internet where half the people dont speak english as a first language.
The entire point is the wordplay though.
"I want to be cremated as it is my last hope for a smoking hot body."
vs
"I want to be cremated as it is my last hope to be sexy."
Now i really owe you a apology
Because i only now realize the second layer that “no pun in ten did” was the winning pun. Right?
Its still somewhat funny without that dept and i got caught on that.
I dont think op knew this themselves but i very much understand your point now. I recall an experience myself where i knew a joke well and then heared half of that joke. Yeah i get it now.
Thanks for your pantience.
Because of the implication.
It's within the context to get it.
