An American tourist in Italy is constipated for a week, but when he arrives in Florence, the water is better and his condition goes away. "With Firenze like this," he said, "who needs enemas?"

Foreign language-based puns like this can be difficult to make work, as the joke above illustrates!

Here's a simpler one:

I met a depressed Scandinavian the other day. He wished he'd never been Björn.

I still remember the 'English lessons for Swedes' sketch from Not the Nine o'clock news, many years ago.

Should be spoken with a strong Scandinavian accent:

Lesson 10. In the pharmacy

-Allo, I would like to buy a deodorant please.

"Certainly sir. Ball or aerosol?"

-Neither. It's for my armpits.

I hunted without success for a video of that when discussing the dangers of aerosols around Covid (and how those aerosols don't wear masks when they should)

There are a lot of really good NTNON videos about on the web and I think they've aged really well
- but can't find that one
