Here's a little pun that came up yesterday:

Prettrou — Quin doù qu' li Bondyes balyà â Sâmwé ?
Infa — La capacheté de vivre dyin l' aja salê coume llê doû.

Priest — What gift did God give to Solomon?
Child — The ability to live in either salty or fresh water.

Sâmwé is the oblique form of the name Sâmou "Solomon." But it happens to also be the oblique form of sâmo "salmon".
