"Ye shall know me by the puns I speak..."
Years ago, at a previous job, a co-worker with a penchant for puns had a side job as a radio announcer for basketball games. He invited all of us to tune in at work. None of us had heard him on the radio before. A co-worker turned on the radio, heard a voice calling a game, and asked, "Is that him?" His radio announcing voice was slightly different than his everyday speaking voice. When a player with the last name of Bone flubbed a play, he asked on the air, "Would that be a bonehead play?" As soon as he said that, those of us listening in the office said, almost in unison, "Yep, that's him." It still amuses me that it was our co-worker's use of a pun, rather than his voice, that made all of us recognize him.
