Bragging Language, Mountain Language

I am still reading the first chapter (first of 61 chapters) of Scahill's new book, Dirty Wars, and have come to a few paragraphs about Cofer Black, who is full of braggadocio to his CIA agents about how they are going to kill Osama bin Laden, how they'll bring his head on a pike to alleged President Bush. We all know how that worked out. But this led me to contemplate the following question and answer:
Q: What language is spoken by a head on a pike, in the mountains?

A: Pike-Speak, of course!

    That's even worse than Krugman's "Confidence Ferry", which takes some doing...

      Bryan, as you correctly pointed out a couple of days ago, when it comes to jokes or puns, I have no shame...
