LOL! Nice pun.
An IMHO also admirable genre of language-based humor (not quite jokes) is
that of shaking rhymes--I don't know whether this is the right term for them:
related lines of these rhymes contain phrases whose syllables or just single
letters are swapped like in spoonerisms. Example:
From rose to rose they flutter by,
hummingbird and butterfly.
or
He couldn't find a parking space,
and this reduced his sparking pace.
(Both found on http://schuettelreime.at.)
And they cannot be translated. Try!
