FYI, Okrand wrote in HQ 4.2 (p.5-6):
... that old Groucho Marx joke, you know: "I just shot an elephant
in my pajamas...and how he got in my pajamas I'll never know." You
can say that in Klingon, no problem; they'll get the joke. There's
not many jokes you can get to translate into Klingon, but that one
would work.
