Maybe a Mexican joke? http://www.jokes4us.com/miscellaneousjokes/worldjokes/mexico...

So you need a pun involving a Spanish word or words that an English speaker will understand - is that right?

This is the whole scene in the film:
Algo más tarde. La actuación de Camarón ha terminado y vemos, además de otras mesas ocupadas en la venta, una en la que se han sentado Paco y sus tres amigos junto a Camarón. Llevan un rato hablando, riendo y disfrutando del güisqui, fumando como carreteros. Lo están pasando realmente bien.

PACO
… Y entonces, como no tenía ni pajolera idea de inglés, voy y le suelto: A ver, listo, ¿Qué le dice un jaguar a otro cuando se encuentran por la mañana…?

Paco fuma, bebe de su copa, pero no termina el chiste.


CAMARÓN
¿Y qué coño es lo que le dice?

Paco mira a Camarón y al resto de sus amigos, con suspense. Todos parecen interesados en la resolución del chiste.

PACO
Pues qué le va a decir: ¡Jaguaryúuuuuu…!

Todos en la mesa se ríen ostensiblemente.

Hi there, it's an anecdote being told by a Spanish to his friends in Spanish. He is recounting his experiences in America, so supposedly it was told to an American. It doesn't make much sense really!
I was thinking about doing the first part in English and then the second part in Spanish to reverse it.... but can't think of anything that could be countered with "Como estas" o Que tal, etc..

Also, could we have the surrounding text, please? I don't fully understand the context of why he is telling this joke.

Hi Anna Who asked the question and to whom? The question was in Spanish and asked to another Spanish person? You need the question part of the joke to be in English and the response in Spanish?
