    Regardless of the correct pronunciation of "shih-tzu" i would argue that the pun should be based on the common pronunciation. The joke makes sense because almost everybody thinks "shit zoo" in their heads, and even if you don't, you almost certainly know that's how the vast majority of people pronounce it.

    In America anyway, obviously certain puns don't work in other countries with different dialects/accents/whatever. :P

    Edit: did it seriously take me nearly two hours to come back and realize i'd typed "countrys"?

    Let’s argue semantically some more about how pronounciation affects whether or not a joke works

    Truly one of the consonant arguments of bad jokes.

    An important note, when your partner says "Nothing would please me more" than whatever you just said you were going to do, do not do nothing instead. It's a trap.

    This is a joke I read for the first time last weekend when the AFL Grand Final was on. For reference, Collingwood Football Club are probably the most hated team in the league, and their president is one of the most hated people in the country. Most jokes about Collingwood supporters revolve around a lack of teeth, perpetual unemployment and incest.

    This one still makes me giggle over a week later, so I'm gonna share it here, maybe it can be adapted to other teams supporters across other sports?

    How do you know when your house has been burgled by a Collingwood supporter?

    Your bins are empty and your dog is pregnant.

    Editor's note: in Australia we call a trash can a "bin".

    That feels like a different category of "bad" jokes to me.

    Like, that joke structure seems dangerously close to a bunch of racist jokes i've heard.

    Collingwood fans are famously racist against non-whites.

    My favourite thing about this joke is that where I live, "lever" is pronounced "LEE-ver" so the punchline doesn't even work.
