Puns on train station names are bringing on the laughs online.

Inspired by his project, Singaporean Pamela Tham posted a compilation of her own using Singapore MRT station names. Her Facebook album of puns has been shared over 1,500 times.  

Puns like “We all have good days, and bad days. Some are happy and Somerset” and “Of course can lah. I knows, and Eunos it can be done” are just some of the examples of the hilarious play on words that Tham and friends put together.
