I’ve always thought this was a pretty good one:

real G's move in silence like lasagna

I don't get it. What is lasagna, here?

The "G" in "Lasagna" is silent

Sure, but what does lasagna have to do with being silent?

It’s a metaphor.

The “g” is silent in the pronunciation of lasagna.

This gives the meaning that “real gangsters” operate silently.

OH! Wow did I whoosh myself there. Thanks for the friendly clarification!

Except it's not really, because it changes how the N is pronounced
