I was going to say that - then i looked it up to discover if it was, in fact, a real word ... and discovered that, technically, it's masculine.
Whereupon any attempts to apply if to Monica resulted in the label sliding right off...

We need the vault number, the key, and the location of the Jar. Include the multidimensional nature of the forum and we haven't a hope of ever finding those out.
Besides I would not want to be the one who opened the vault. All the things donated to the jar have just been jumbled up in there. Who knows how they have combined, or what life forms have mutated in there.

Opening the pun jar could also result in this happening:

Antipuns?

That which can be proved or disproved is a fact. All else is conjecture of varying degrees.

Seminary puns. Not sure if you need to drop a rosary, a crucifix, or a copy of
The Screwtape Letters in the pun jar as payment.

Under these conditions... I'd say all three items would fill the bill (and pay it off).

Addendum to histerical fact: Antipasta was deposed by his repulsive other brother, Antimatter. He reigned only for a short time as his manner of being left the people a bit put off. He was replaced by cousin Whatsamatter U, however his time on the throne was rocky due to a couple loose screws.

Has to be the contribution of Lars Arne Sagna. Lars was visiting Italy and loved the sauces and cheeses but was not terribly fond of the pasta. One of his favorite Swedish food items was the Swedish pancake, often eaten with lingonberry jam. One day while visiting Bologna, he was a guest in a friends home for the evening meal and the friend discovered that they were without pasta. Lars, thinking quickly, pulled from his sea bag a stack of pancakes that he had made earlier in the day to snack on while traveling. He asked for sauce and cheese and proceeded to layer the ingredients, then baked the dish until it was golden brown on top. The meal was consumed and declared a success. Wondering what to call it, Lars remarked just use his name. Well, saying his full name was bit of a tongue tangler for his host, so he decided to just use the two initials and last name, thus the dish of L. A. Sagna was created.
Right?
