French Joke of the Day

French joke of the day

La blague du jour!

The English literal translation of the following French joke is:

 

What is the difference between a can and an aquarium?

Answer:

In the can, the peas are green (les pois sont vets) and in the aquarium the fish are red (les poissons rouges/les pois sont rouges). 

It is "les poissons" sounding like "les pois sont" which renders the play on words funny.

 

Quelle est la différence entre une boîte de conserve et un aquarium?

 Réponse: 

Dans la boîte de conserve, les pois sont verts et dans l'aquarium, les poissons rouges!

French joke number three:

Qu'est-ce qui tombe sans faire de bruit?

Réponse:

La nuit.

 

What falls without making any sound?

Answer:

The night.

 

Pourquoi les canards sont-ils toujours à l'heure?

Réponse: 

Parce qu'ils sont dans l'étang. 

(This is a play on words between "l'étang" - the pond and "les temps" - on time, which both sound the same. It doesn't translate into English!)

 

Quel est le pain préféré du magicien?

Réponse:

La baguette!

Translation: What is the magician's favourite bread? Answer: The baguette! (Play on words between baguette as a type of bread and baguette meaning "wand".)
