I guess you forgot British English exists 😆 I had to have the joke explained to me as that's the English I was taught and had never heard the pronunciation that way before.

Can you share said explanation with the rest of the dullards such as myself?

Pronounce "lever" to rhyme with "weather" - the punchline will then make sense (I don't want to write it here in case I spoil it for someone 😀)

Haha, the brain works in the weirdest ways sometimes! (Though British English is a bit weird tbh)
