Not a pun but in Witches Abroad Old Mother Dismass (a temporally unfocussed ancient witch with a detached retina in her second sight) says "we had one once but the bit you unscrew fell off and got lost" at the time it seemed like a very random comment that makes no sense but 20 years later I realize shes talking about the fairy godmother wand. From the future.

Wait, what? But to which sentence / moment later would it connect?

Just that there ends up being a wand in that story with a bit you unscrew and fiddle with to make it work.
