My favorite pun was punned in 1857, near the end of the Sepoy Mutiny in India.

The British commander who captured the city of Sind cabled London in code:

Peccavi
apres moi, le deluge

Milo Yiannopoulos "It has been obvious since 2016 that Trump carries an anointing of some kind. My American friends, are you so blind to reason, and deaf to Heaven? Can he do all this, and cannot get a crown? This man is your King. Coronate him, and watch every devil shriek, and every demon howl."

That seemed familiar and even more so when I looked it up.  It may have been something I heard way back in high school. I had several teachers that would tell us things like that.

Peccavi = Latin for "I have sinned."

"sinned" = "Sind"

And not unsurprisingly, the staff in the British India Office in London knew exactly what he meant.
