I have a work acquaintance who does this in the most unfunny way. You could say you injured your Achilles tendon, and he'd reply he has an Achilles elevendon, and it's made out of steel and never hurts..

This sounds like a joke I have with two of my work acquaintances

Yes but it wouldn't be funny if they just said "Heh, elevendon". It need a delivery sandwich. Maybe there's a funnier sandwich though.

"You should get the latest upgrade. (Point down. Pause for effect).... Elevendon."

This sounds like a joke I'd make. Most of the time, I'm only making myself chuckle.
