 Joke #3

A: La nueva cocinera es un sol. (The new cook is a ray of sunshine.)

 

B: ¿Cocina bien? (Does she cook well?)

 

A: No, lo quema todo. (No, she burns everything.)

 

For this one I translated the meaning literally in English. We don’t use the phrase “ray of sunshine” the same way un sol is used in Spanish. Un sol is someone who’s “a doll” in English. Of course, the pun here is that the sun burns everything, just like the cook. Clever, clever.
