Joke in Japanese

Do you like joke ?

I like joke very much.

In Japan , we have traditional joke “Syare”.

we play with words which have same pronunciation.

For example , there is the word “Iremono”.

And it means kind of box in English.

There is lemon we also call same pronunciation but different characters “Remon” .

We can say “Iremono” “Iremon” (Colloquialism).

So what is happened ?

We can say Lemon’s Box “Remon no Iremon”.

Two words , same pronanciation.

“no” means ” ‘s “.

Is this interesting for you ?

By the way , I like American Joke very much.

Let me introduce one of my fevoraits.

Irish man saw ad in front of bar.

It say “you can drink free just 1 $”.

He entered to bar and said that.

“Give me amount of 2 $”.
