This is probably necromancy, but I can't leave a joke alone. The above link is dead, but here is one that works.

Does reading the punchline in a British accent make it funnier, or less funny? (Non-spoiler explanation: despite the webpage being in a .uk domain, the word-play doesn't work in British, only in American.)

Less funny; it kills the joke. Lever is pronounced like "never" in American English. Better late than never, etc.
