Multilingual Puns



In Urdu, the word for "peas" is "mattar." So, now that you know that, here's a joke that only bilingual Urdu speakers would understand.
How do peas talk? They mutter.

What other multilingual puns do you know?


Leave a message, leave a comment. Tell us the words we need to know first, and then make us laugh. If we get good ones we'll post to the podcast.
