LOWER THAN THE LOWEST FORM OF HUMOR

is the bilingual pun. Here’s one in Japanese and English:

Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, on a recent visit to the U.S. Gulf Coast, had occasion to visit a Cajun restaurant. After having enjoyed appetizers and drinks, Koizumi-sama was surprised when a waiter placed a large dish in front of him.

“Nan desu ka?” he inquired. What is this?

The waiter responded, “Arigeita gozaimasu.”

Yeah, I know it’s stupid. If you need an explanation, or if you demand an apology, feel free to e-mail me at elisson1 (at) aol (dot) com.
