Top answer

You got me, Teleo. All I can see is a very unimaginative pun on 'Rob', the man's name and 'rob' meaning steal from. Still, I feel there may be another pun on the same word that I am missing.

Banana. Knock, knock.

Who's there? (quizically)

Banana. Knock, knock.

TartanOrange you glad I didn't say banana?

Aren't you glad I didn't say banana again?

Instead of 'Aren't', the word 'Orange' is used here because it is probably the only fruit that rhymes with the world 'aren't'.
