By the way, it took me awhile to get the bass part of the joke because in my head I was pronouncing “bass” in my (only slightly) twangy American accent. It was only after I thought about how people would pronounce “bass” here in England that it made sense! Hence the belated laughs. 🙂
Ah, yes, a particularly confusing pun as the word can be pronounced in two different ways: ‘base’ as in bass guitar; and the fish which rhymes with the Northern/Midlands pronunciation of ‘grass’ (not ‘grarse’ as they say in the south). All of which, for the pun to work, has to be understood to be a reference to a replacement bus service…
It all worked so well in my head… 😉

There’s some pun-tastic joke opportunities with this one 🙂 If you have problems with the whale-way, try the replacement bass service… ba-dum-tish
