Quite good, wish it didn’t include the last comment below as it’s a pretty big hint.

My dumb ass pronouncing it “onionized” when I read it.

*orally. Text is still verbal.

A while back I thought of a (much less clever) joke that only works in text: Do you know how hard it is to get an authentic French baguette around here? It’s a real pain!

I get that chemists are concerned with the ionization of things, but what do plumbers have with unions and unionisation? Are they famous for that? Or do not get something else?

“What’s the difference between curtains and toilet paper?” “I dunno. What?” “SO IT WAS YOU!”

My personal version of this, since the Republicans always call themselves the party of Abe Lincoln I spent the entirety of Bidens presidency trying to get a get joke setup for why do the Republicans call themselves the party of A. Blinken referencing Bidens secretary of state. But this doesn’t work audibly in any way.

you can tell it verbally just pronounce it the way you think the other person would and watch for the reaction on their face when they get it

1.25 gpa here. That joke required searches on my part. I’m 48-ish now. If you cold ask me how to reduce a chemical equation, I’m going to say, “turn the Bunsen burner down to low”.
