Ahahahahhaa this reminds me of my cousin's joke since the early 90's: 哦，卖肉，卖大饼.... to the tune of the first lines of "Unchained Melody".

both brilliant jokes (even though the song itself was soooo lame, at least that joke is better) ;)

"You" is not a homonym (or a homophone)for 油 "oil". It sounds more like 鱼 "fish" which is the joke I have heard locally (Guangxi).

"You" is not a NOMONYM FOR for oil in Pinyin, but the pronunciation si more like "fish" which is the joke here in Guangxi
