Even though Rod, yourself and others have had to explain and re-explain this French/English joke, I still find it funny.

In some parts of the UK, the word ‘lost’ is pronounced ‘lorst’, for some reason. So the question becomes ‘Lost key?’

Thanks for the explanation. 
Confirms that I got David’s hint the right way.

A young man was visiting an old retired farmer…
The farmer had a very well trained sheep dog that corralled his huge flock of sheep and when done the dog shut the gate and latched it to keep them in.
The young man was amazed. He asked the old farmer, “What’s the dog’s name?”
The farmer thought for quite a while, and asked, “What’s the name of that flower, you know, the red one?”
The young man said, “If you mean the one with thorns, that’s a rose.”
Then the farmer shouted out - “Hey Rose…what’s the name of our dog?”

News item on R4 just now:
An ancient Mayan urn is to be returned to Mexico by an American university. In Mexico it is proposed that it will be displayed next to its twin.
I can’t help feeling the twin is probably called Eric.

I went to the doctor about a pain in my kneecap.
‘Your knee is only 2.5cm long’ she said
‘Inch high knees?’ I enquired
‘ 你的膝盖只有一英寸长’

The ‘Lost key’ thing put me in mind of this…
Un petit, d’un petit
Ca ton à vol
Un petit d’un petit
A d’une gratte fol.
Au le quinze aussi ce
An au le quinze semaine
Coup d’une peut un petit
Tu gai zero gaine.
