Want to troll someone supporting a candidate you dislike (only works IRL, though)? Tell them the candidate has Aides! Then say all candidates have Aides......and watch them get confused.

- Because one egg is un œuf !

Get it? It's funny, right? Because un œuf is French for "one egg", but it also sounds a little like "enough".
Reminds me of the chef de cuisine who pined away and died because he'd lost his huile d'olive.

Another oldie but goodie.
Today, I learned that yolo is in fact a Latin verb. For example: yolandus "which is to be lived only once".
I bought myself a set of wheels. I've worked really hard these past few years, so I decided to treat myself. This is top of the line: genuine leather seating, panoramic sunroof, great maneuverability. I originally wanted to buy it in red, but a friend said that was too feminine. Overall I'm very satisfied with it, especially the basket up front, which comes in really handy!
Took some liberties in translation to make it work. Apologies for the large photo -- as it was, I was only able to figure out how to get from there to here in three very inelegant steps.
Edit: Whittled down to one.

It appears your image links to an email? As such, it is broken for me.

Here's a fun one in Turkish:
Dört beşten neden korkuyor? Çünkü beş altı yedi!
Why is four afraid of five? Because five six seven!
The pun is that yedi means both seven and ate (Turkish being a verb final language), making it a near perfect literal translation of the corny English pun.

I'm really surprised nobody tried this in Quenya/Sindarin.
IMHO "Can't help falling in love with you" would translate rather well.

English, of course, has -
Why is six afraid of seven? Because he eight nine.
One of my son's all time favorites!
