Again, can't the jokes just go in a joke thread? And in Everything Else, rather than in C&C?
Garudas and Phoenixes and Rocs and Simurghs all belong in conworlds and concultures.
So don’t have them walk into a bar if that gets up your nose.
Just block me.

Maybe not a joke exactly, but I noticed a pun that seems popular with Francophone museums. When a museum is announcing an activity, it may throw in
On va s'a-musée, which is a play on
On va s'amuser "We'll have fun", replacing part of
s'amuser "have fun" with
musée "museum".
There's no agreement at all on how to punctuate the phrase; I've found
On va s'a-musée,
On va s'a « musée »,
On va s'a[musée],
On va s'a…musée,
On va s'a'musée,
On va s'aMUSEE and the list goes on

Here's a quote I saw on a friend's Facebook page. Some nice wordplay:
I finally quit drinking for good.
Now I drink for evil.

1) in any natlang or conlang you know, how do they commonly call next-generation light antitank weapons?
2) in the same language(s), what are the common terms for spouse’s sibling and sibling’s spouse?
3) are those terms homophonous, or close to it?
