    I’ve always thought this was a pretty good one:

    real G’s move in silence like lasagna

      I don’t get it. What is lasagna, here?

        The “G” in “Lasagna” is silent

          Except it’s not really, because it changes how the N is pronounced

            Gotcha, so it’d be “real g’s are soft like lasagna”

          Sure, but what does lasagna have to do with being silent?

            It’s a metaphor.

            The “g” is silent in the pronunciation of lasagna.

            This gives the meaning that “real gangsters” operate silently.
