Highest form of literature
Regarding "Fruit of their labor" (Page C1, Friday), on behalf of pun-lovers everywhere, thank you for this New Year's Eve sports section of the Chronicle, which had two references to fruit, including Houston Cougar's victory of Florida State in the Peach Bowl, and "Ole Miss recalls sour Peach" (Page C6).
But for sheer virtuosity, there is no improving on "Whitewash courtesy of extra-strength Tide" (Page C3) about Alabama's victory over Michigan State in the Cotton Bowl. The author connected the shutout, the victorious team's name and the name of the bowl in a pun trifecta, literally tying all the threads together.
Pun intended.
