C'mon, I wanna read those polyglottish groaners!

(Seriously, I've been halfway miserable all day, and anything that cheers me up is a good thing, even if it *is* bad puns)

One of my favourites:

Jiisan ga kuttara,
babaroi
(Grandfather eats it,
it's babaroi/grandmother made it)

Sou da oishii sou da
(Yes, it's good, isn't it/yes it's good soda/ yes, it's soda, isn't it)

Basu o matteita
(I waited for the bus/I waited for the bath)

Having under 60 sounds means Japanese is RIFE with homonyms. (But, somehow I think these don't work at all when translated into English. They're sidesplitters in Japanese, though...)
