Okay, so I don't get what's so funny. Oh well.
Here's where everyone makes fun of you for not understanding the joke.

Thus playing out the 2 responses of the 'no soap radio' concept (the other being Achas Veachas's response - though more likely he was playing along as well).

Click the link. The no soap radio joke/prank is designed to produce one of 2 responses: false understanding or negative understanding. etech0 provided the negative understanding response. Your response could have been construed as false understanding, or more likely as I mentioned, the reaction of the 'conspirators' mentioned in the link.

No I actually found it funny the way it was translated to Aramaic (not that I found the 'joke' itself funny but I actually LOLed at the translation).

I know the original joke, I just didn't get the "There is no soap, radio there is." part

"Amar l'hoo" should be "amar lay".

True although the word Golem in that context doesn't mean what it usually does...

Three Jews were waiting on line at Ellis Island.

What is your name they asked the first, “Chaim” he answered. This is America they responded; from here on your name will be Chuck.

They asked the second what is your name? “Berel” He answered. This is America they responded; from here on your name will be Buck.

They asked the third what is your name? “Shmerel” but I am going back to Europe.

Thanks for you guys feed back first Amar lehu is the right way of saying it and not Amar Lai.
Second I am sorry that I didn't put in the translation but then it would not have been funny no more.

Amar lehu is plural. It means "he said to THEM". Amar lai means "he said to him". In this case, where one elephant is talking to one elephant, the correct term is amar lai.

ETA - sorry Achas, didn't see your post

No hocking on jokes.  It was clear enough.
