English is not my native language, so I donāt get the pun. I know what a pinion is in automobiles, but does it have a double meaning? I like the joke with the rack though.
My husband and I were shopping. We went into the automotive section of a store and asked the clerk for a ātap and die setā The clerk said ā in all seriousness ā āI donāt know about the tap, but the dye is in cosmetics.ā
If you think that rack looks foolish, just be thankful he didnāt strap on a different type of ārack!ā As in, you need a bra for the front of your vehicle nowā¦
@ujeanAh! Thank you. As a non-native speaker I didnāt know that.I like the way you can play with the double meaning of English words, but some of those double meanings I just donāt know. Nevertheless, when in the US or the UK I get taken out by my colleagues I can laugh about most of their jokes, so I am not doing that bad, I guess.
