It's time for the Punorama results.

This week we gave you a story about a Utah pensioner, Betty Perry, who was arrested by police for not watering her lawn.

She refused to give her name and says an officer hit her with handcuffs, cutting her nose, which needed treatment on the way to jail, but police insist she slipped and fell. She was later released.

This week's most popular pun by a distance was law-n order, or other variants which were proffered by Clem Edmond, Bryan, Adam Chamberlain, Simon Bromley, EMP, Nik Johnson, Mark Wilson, Craig Wall, Alex Pelopidas, Richard Peers, Mike (Newcastle upon Tyne), John Bainbridge, Sue Lee, David Williams, Bradley Merren, Mike Bilton, Colin Nelson, Robin, Edinburgh, James Glover, John Brown, Simon, Em, in Lancs, Scott Humm, Joseph, Marc Fox, Kieran Boyle, Robin Hughes, Gareth Jones, Stuart, djb, Andy Nichols, Rob Falconer, and Philip. Great minds, eh?

But possibly this week's best effort was My Beautiful Lawn Drought by Sue Lee, again.

There were a number of people who plumped for I fought the lawn but the law won, or variants, including Michael Sargent and (again) Sue Lee. There was also some support for Grassed up, with Rob, Richard, Ryan Alston and Sean Smith among the suggesters.

And there were some American-flavoured efforts, with Veranda Rights by Paul, and Will She Get A Presidential Garden? from Nigel Macarthur.

But the week's most tortured pun award goes to Mike, with his Sprinkle, sprinkle too little in Utah.

Thanks to all who entered.
