I don’t see where anyone else has posted this one, but I heard what I considered an awesome riddle at lunchtime (the English teachers here are very liberal and very vulgar!).

Warning: this riddle only works when you TELL it, not when you write it. But I’m pretty sure you’ll share this one.

Q: What’s the difference between a Garbanzo bean and a chick pea?

Donald Trump has never had a Garbanzo bean on his face.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a Russian had, though.

Here’s a riddle: what has two thumbs and wonders whether he’s ever going to stop having a visceral reaction of pure revulsion and disbelief every time he sees or hears the words “President Trump”?

Nah, it works fine. You did it right–spelling out the pun for what people think it is, rather than ruining the punchline.  
’  
I bet that it will be high up on Reddit’s /r/funny soon, if it’s not already there.
