    Isn't that the one that only makes sense if you pronounce a word in a specific weird way?

    No. It's a shaggy dog story. Long joke that ends in a dumb bit that ignores all the setup.

    It's both of these things - I had a quick look and scrolled to the bottom. It was the one I was thinking of. The final pun is based on pronouncing "lever" like "levver" instead of "leever".

    To be fair, that's the standard pronunciation in a very popular dialect of the language.
