“Disguise” can sound like “de skies” (the skies). A pun is:
Q: Why is it so hard to recognize a pilot?
A: They always travel in disguise.
The joke was posted on Reddit—Dadjokes on June 30, 2015, when the British spelling “recognise” was used.
“Why are airplanes so hard to see?”/“Because they’re in disguise” is a similar riddle.
