TEXT OF COMIC:

Hey, Abby, I know a funny song. Want to hear it?

Sure, Sharon. Go ahead.

A peanut sat on a railroad track,

its heart was all a-flutter!

Along came the six-fifteen...

Toot-toot! Peanut butter!

Cute. But I've got a better one.

A pigeon sat in Atocha,

Its wings were all a-flutter,

Along came the Trenhotel...

Squish! Hazelnut butter!

I don't get it.

La Estacion de Atocha is a train station in Madrid, and the Trenhotel is a type of overnight train that runs through Spain.

The Spanish word for "hazelnut" is "avellana," which, if it were separated into two words-- "ave llana"-- would mean "flat bird."

WOW! That is the best pun EVER!

Don't encourage her, Sharon.
