It's a Belgian Thing

While I was out walking with a friend today, he remarked that the cough I’ve had since before Christmas is sounding much better.

“It is better,” I agreed, grimacing, “but I’ve still got a little phlegm.”

“Eww,” he said.

“I know,” I said, “but it’s better than having a little Walloon!”

Nobody understands me.

How do you even know that to make a pun of it?

If you've ever sung renaissance music with Danny Johnson, you've heard the Flem joke a lot. Josquin Desprez was a Flem!

Um, I guess it's sort of niche humor.

What 'little'...? That would be Hugue, not?

no, no, no... it goes like this:

"Your cough sounds better today."
"It should, I've been practicing all night."

Yes, but where's the pun in that?

Okay, so I'm a hack when it comes to writing puns about coughing.

Oh, I don't know about that. I wouldn't want to suppress what you have to say. Then again, maybe I should let the subject drop.
