Rules schmules.  Wordplay is about bending rules.  If I
were to be strict about the single-substitution rule,
I would be stuck with a with one of the four choices:
rules-sules, -cules, -hules, or -mules.  Three of these
make no word, whereas the fourth suggests a singleminded
dedication to a single task, which works on two levels
but still hasn't the punch of the simple, devastating
rules-schmules.
