      There is no joke. The “H” and “S” are silent in the name Rhode Island.

        Is that… really it? Just a complaint about silent letters, straight from someone’s first English class?

          I don’t think it’s a complaint. It’s an anti-joke.

              Does that make it a triple entendre? I’m lost…

          I personally thought the joke was going to be the r and the D are silent so it would be hoe island.

      There is a common joke: “I live in Spain but the S is silent.” This is an anti joke variant of that
