Moorish Puns

It was very Moorish

i was sitting at a counter, eating my lunch, when this guy and his wife come in and start getting really inquisitive about the beer list. they finally order something. after they've had a few sips:

waiter: how's the beer? guy: i don't know, it has a "moorish" taste to it. waiter: ... wife: he means he's going to probably want "more" of it.

part of me wants to believe that this was a successful assist on her part, but then part of me thinks the guy probably feels robbed of the punchline!

It was really Moorish.
