Yeah this joke didn't make any sense in German. The problem I see with this kind of jokes is that they can't be translated to German.

e.g. another joke like this Did you hear about the country with the fastest growing capital? It's Ireland - every day it's Dublin.

I can't think of any way how to translate this joke so it would be funny in German. But I have a feeling that these word play jokes aren't used much in German speaking countries anyways. Most of the humor is about people acting different or surprising.
