   When Chapterhouse: Dune was released, the San Francisco station   
   KGO had Frank Herbert as a guest on Jim Eason's program.  Herbert   
   was promoting the book there, mixed with general interview stuff   
   with the host.  At one time getting into a pun competition.   
      
   "What's next, Gunga Dune?"   
   "Lorna Dune."   
   "Briga Dune."   
   "Dune What Comes Naturally"   
      
   With that final one by Herbert, Eason gave up the title of punmaster.
