I read this joke some thirty years back. Judge Asked," Who has brought this allegation?" Plaintiff Replied," I am the allegator." There is no word 'allegator', Only alligator is there. Alligator is a reptile and resembles a crocodile. Are there any words,like Homophones, which make a conversation a satire,as shown in the above example?
