Could someone explain this to me?

There is no joke. The "H" and "S" are silent in the name Rhode Island.

Is that... really it? Just a complaint about silent letters, straight from someone's first English class?

I personally thought the joke was going to be the r and the D are silent so it would be hoe island.
