He could effortlessly execute the double pun: Noah’s Ark was made of gopher-wood, he would say, but Joan of Arc was maid of Orleans. Some Whately-isms are so complex that they nearly amount to honest jokes: “Why can a man never starve in the Great Desert? Because he can eat the sand which is there. But what brought the sandwiches there? Why, Noah sent Ham, and his descendants mustered and bred.”
第二个就不用了……

我认为第一个双关是是 eat ‘sand which’ is there....... 是把沙漠中的沙子说成三明治。
而第二个是‘Noah sent Ham’做三明治要火腿‘ham’,noah带来了火腿这是表义,双关的是在圣经中Noah 诺雅 的三个儿子之一的名字叫 Ham‘含’
