Humor in sloka

My late grandpa used to elaborate on this:
 
vyaasa says (tamil) vasiShTa snuff taarum (= "vasiShTa! Give me some
snuff")
vasiShta says: "sattre poruttirum" ("please wait") kalmasham ("i will mix
and give")

Another one is the "gajaananam" stotram.
 
गजाननं भूतगणादि सेवितं कपित्व जम्बू फलसारभक्षितं ।
उमासुतं शोकविनासकारणं नमामि विघ्नेश्वर पाद पङ्कजं ॥
 
 
His explanation was:
 
गजानानाम्बू धगनादी सेवितं
कपित्वजम्बू पलासराबक्षितम
उमासु तमसो कविनाशाकारानाम
नमामि विग्नेश्वर पाद पंकजम
 
The translation now becomes this:
gajAnanambu: One who wears an elephant flower (bu -> phoo -> flower in
Tamil)
daganAdi sevitam: Burns all those who worship him
kapitva jambu: Jumps like a monkey (kapi = monkey) or ka-pitta jambu (one
who got pitta)
palasAra bakshitam: Devours all snacks given to him
umAsu: Brought bad name to Uma (Parvati)
tamSo: (I forgot what this one was - nothing pleasant I can assure you!)
kavinAshakAranam: Responsible for the demise of all poets who sing his
praise
namami vigneshwara pAda pankajam: I worship one with such qualities!
