Traveling through the Czech Republic for a conference two months ago, I saw many fields full of yellow flowers. I asked if it was mustard, and the organizer told me it was rape -- the plant from which one makes rapeseed oil. (Canola oil is a more happily-named variety.) He recounted a conversation with some Americans years ago when he spoke worse English. They were discussing social problems like rape and he brightly said, "Yes, rape! It is all over my country!"
I guess that's a "rape" joke rather than a rape joke, but anyway, Daniel Tosh was doing it wrong.

Canola is an acronym. CANadian Oil Low Acid. Weird, right? Not sure if anyone in Europe calls it czechola oil, but probably not.
