Les députés risquent de se trouver «calembourbés» s’ils se servent de pommes de terre comme pièces à l’appui.

OBS

Jeu de mots fait à partir des éléments «pun» et «ished» qui donne «calembourbé» mais qui n’ a pas le sens de l'adjectif «puni». Selon la tradition, les échantillons de produits céréaliers ne sont pas admis comme pièces à l'appui à la Chambre.
