One or two days ago, I was sent this joke, and I thought I might be able to
translate it, so here goes...
Two drunks are walking in the street.
The first drunk asks the second "Is that thing in the sky the moon?"
"No, it's the sun," says the second.
They begin to argue furiously.
A third drunk approaches.
"Is that the sun in the sky, or the moon?" ask the first two drunks (= the
drunks who were walking).
The third drunk says "Sorry, I don't know; I don't live around here."
I decided to use <<yuQmaj Hov>> for "sun" because it was concise, bearing in
mind "a short joke is a good joke". What other phrases have been used on the
list for "sun"? And what Klingon jokes do we know of?
