    "I'm the Whether Man, not the Weather Man, for after all it's more important to know whether there will be weather than what the weather will be."

    Explanation:

    A pun can be described as a joke which explores the different meanings of a word or words which sound alike but have different meaning.

    From the answer above, the words" Weather" and "Whether" are homophones (they sound alike) and the speaker tries to exploit the two different meanings of the word to create a pun.
