Then there's the two-for-one, elephant and grape set:

"What's the difference between an elephant and a grape?"
- "Grapes are purple."

"What did Tarzan say when he saw the elephants coming?"
- "'Here come the elephants!'"

"What did Jane say when she saw the elephants coming?"
- "'Here come the grapes!' (Jane is color-blind.)"
