I like puns in English. It�s a good way to learn English, especially for the non-native speaker of me.

I got some:

It�s nice to be important, but it�s more important to be nice.
More sun and air for your son and heir.
A deal with us means a good deal to you.
Money doesn�t grow on trees. But it blossoms at our branches.
Foreign exchange isn�t foreign to us.

Could you native speakers get me more? Thanks.

I once wanted to be a funeral director, but it was too big an undertaking.
