What was the pun? Many/mini?

You can safely put 'no pun intended' after actually having no puns in the text. It can be disorienting but such is truth sometimes.

Pun intended?

    typeof(x) y = (typeof(x))x; // no pun intended

Back when I was coding for a living, I tried things like that almost a dozen times to see if they would make anyone laugh, but no pun in ten did.

But why cast to it’s own type?

Yes.
