“Paper or plastic for my French bread? I don’t care. Just baguette”

“Baguette” sounds a bit like “bag it.” A pun is:
 
“Paper or plastic for my French bread? I don’t care. Just baguette.”
 
“Also french? here is a joke: French stores ask if you want your things in a paper or plastic baguette” was posted on Twitter on March 18, 2011. “Paper or plastic? Yeah, just baguette” was posted on Twitter on April 30, 2012.
     
Other “paper or plastic?” jokes include “A cashier asked me if I wanted paper or plastic. I said, ‘Just put the money in a bag!!‘” and “Paper or plastic?”/“Either. I’m bisacktual.”
   
     
Wikipedia: Baguette   
A baguette (English: /bæˈɡɛt/; French pronunciation: ​[baˈɡɛt]) is a long, thin loaf of French bread[2] that is commonly made from basic lean dough (the dough, though not the shape, is defined by French law). It is distinguishable by its length and crisp crust.
 
A baguette has a diameter of about 5 or 6 centimetres (2 or 2⅓ in) and a usual length of about 65 centimetres (26 in), although a baguette can be up to a metre (39 in) long.

The cashier asked the French guy paper or plastic. The French guy said, “I do not care. Just baguette.”

Yesterday I bought some bread. The grocery store cashier asked me if I wanted paper or plastic. “I don’t care,” I said. “Just baguette.”

A guy walks into a bakery

He buys bread, and the baker asks if he’d like his bread bagged in paper or plastic. The guy replies, “Baguette however you want”.
