Well, strictly speaking it's not a pun, but rather an inspiration for puns :
the name of Manila Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin. I was watching the news
program *The Philippines Tonight* on International Channel. After telling
about ceremonies honoring the archbishop, and showing one such ceremony, the
reporter mentioned an upcoming television special. The name of the program:
"A Night of Sin."

This is the most wonderful name I've ever heard of. Up to now the best was
a tiny nursing student called, Ne Hi Fuk (exact spelling unknown, but you
get the idea) with whom a friend was at university.

Thanks so much for Cardinal Sin.
