Mate of mine told a joke at smoko today and it took a few moments before I got it.
Clue: He has Scottish ancestry.
Q. What is the difference between Bing Crosby and Walt Disney?
A. Bing sings but Walt Disney.
I sense puzzled looks.

Yes, it's a bit tricky unless you hear someone speak it with a strong Scottish accent:

Translated to English: Bing sings but Walt does not.
