I wont transcribe it yet because it'll become obvious, BUT

IMO

it is a soooooo subtle joke that i'm still wondering if you really intend this double sense, because you aren't english based and though you're obviously a genius in you're area, AFAIK subtleties of english literature aren't part of it (at least professionally)

Or just forget it, as this being rather off-topic for renowned digital audio coder

Hehehe, what do you think?

People usually give my puns a blank look, but this one was recepted gracefully. I should stick to these. The other good one in recent years was calling pushbike riders on Australian highways "suicylists". The one that nobody found funny at all was "There are two kinds of aliens on earth - Italiens and Australiens" (doesn't work at all in written form).

i think it is highly unusual, so i was in the doubt

i'm persuaded much people didn't notice it, even being english based, a truly excellent one !!!

How could you forget to mention "Bavaliens"?

They appear at the Oktoberfest and other Bavarian fun fairs!

The "double sense" can only be seen after some alcoholic drinks...

Is it a bit like how decent British night-clubs have cheap Thurdsays where its £1 a drink, the music sucks and its full of women willing to give you a pleasuring for a Smirnoff Ice?

I suspect most native English speakers wouldn't find this funny.

Out of the blue Urs, did you make that joke intentionally ?
