Very good, Kevin
I would have liked to add to your witty list if I could, but it's midnight here and my brain is switching off now, as is my laptop, ...so I've got a good excuse.

I think it was Borges who told this joke:
Q: What do you say when you meet a puma in the jungle?
A: "Jaguar you?"

"cougah" and "jagwah" up in my neck of the woods. Terminal r's are not our strong suit, but the h is not silent. Rhymes with "yogah"
