DDW Challenge; 4 Candles

I know that humour doesn’t always travel, but in the UK, this is a favourite comedy sketch from the Two Ronnies (Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett). Like DDW's challenge, it's all about wordplay.

A man goes into a hardware shop and asks for Fork ‘andles.

Customer: Fork ‘andles.
Shopkeeper: Four Candles?
Customer: Fork 'andles.
(The shopkeeper makes for a box, and gets out four candles. He places them on the counter)
Customer: No, fork 'andles!
Shopkeeper: (confused): Well there you are, four candles!
Customer: No, fork 'andles! 'Andles for forks!
