Puns and play-on-words?

I hope I picked the right category for this. In English puns are when you make a joke based on one word sounding like another, or having 2 meanings. For example, where does a whale go to check his weight? To the whale-weigh station. I know there are things like this in Spanish, what are some examples?

You many want to put this under games. Good idea! Can us English speakers post some in English or do you only want Spanish ones? - actorgirl, Mar 13, 2014

Your example may also be described as a riddle - and how about plays on sounds using both languages :-) - Esteban_317, Mar 14, 2014
