The Kind of Joke I Love

Many of us know the joke about the Communist named Rudolph who was very good at determining the weather, where the punchline is "Rudolph, the Red, Knows Rain, Dear." I made this one up as I sweated over this past week's Sunday NY Times crossword puzzle:
What did Venus say to her musical instrument when she realized that the god of revelry was, at last, in love himself?
Lyre, lyre
Pan's on fire!
Anyone got any others they've made up?

My favorite was from the TV show Frasier but I don't recall how they set it up, only the punch line. I'll give it a try however.

What did the Greek playwrights wife say when she finished sowing his toga?

Euripides, Eumenides

Upon further consideration, perhaps that isn't the same sort of joke.

Nevertheless, it is adorable! Thanks, Pete!
