The sardine is laughing
I have very little time and energy at the moment, so there is another one from the archives. The name of a house in french northern Catalunya. It is a word play,’la sardine rie’ meaning ‘the sardine is laughing’, but ‘la sardinerie’ is a sardine packing factory, therefore no laughing matter for sardines.
Can’t believe I just wrote sardine 5 times in the same sentence!
The house itself was fairly common.

That's the problem with puns — because they're based on language, they're not universal. Thanks for the explanation. Because of it, I see the humor.
And coincidentally, I have a pun for my post today (Friday here already) too.
I hope your schedule lets up soon. You shouldn't be too stressed so soon after that major surgery.

I'm trying to imagine the sound of a sardine laughing.

This looks like it could be the name of a night club. It has as much appeal as Au Lapin Agile.
