Punch

Today’s pun is a legendary elementary school pun:

「I’m sorry. 小泉総理。安倍総理。福田総理。ひげ剃り。」

Little kids turn English they don’t understand into Japanese they know and "sorry" is close enough to 総理(そうり), that when they hear it, they’ll repeat "I’m sorry," and then go into a list of Japanese Prime Ministers that either starts or ends with ひげ剃り(そり)- a shave.
