Out of This World Time Travel Puns That Are Light-Years Ahead

A little while ago, I tried to explain time travel to my dog (do not ask why; I have my reasons). I told him about time travel puns, thinking he would totally get it, but all he did was tilt his head and look at me like I was some kind of temporal oddity.
