Translating a Joke
Could you help me to get the meaning of the following joke:
Teacher: James, where are the Andes?
James: At the end of my armies, Miss.
I don't want to seem preoccupied with sex, but i have no other decent ideas rather than James understood Andes as Endes and pronounced Armies similarly.
I saw this example in a Grammar book!

I think it refers to hands and arms. Where are the "hand-ees", at the end of my "arm-ees".

ferdisI think it refers to hands and arms. Where are the "hand-ees", at the end of my "arm-ees".Good catch, ferdis. A person with a Cockney accent would have heard that immediately.
