The joke is that it's a similar sounding word
A pun is a play on words which have the same sound but different meanings or an expression in which two different applications of a word present an odd or ludicrous idea. It's kind of quibble or equivocation.
Okay?
Holy shit, they're spelled differently?! I thought it was like read and read.
