Reminds me of an old bit of doggerel:

A flea and a fly were trapped in a flue.
Said the flea to the fly: "What shall we do?"
"Let us flee!" said the fly,
"Let us fly!" said the flea.
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.

Looking at Merriam-Webster:
\ˈskōn, ˈskän\
I always heard it pronounced the first way, so the joke didn't make sense to me.

To be pedantic, that's a third pronunciation of Scone (scoon, more or less) that is not the same as either way of pronouncing the bread thing.

That didn't stop Sir Terry Pratchett writing a whole book based around a legendary dwarvish battle-bread.

Ah, the good old "s'gone", "s-cone" discussion.

in New Zealand I grew up learning the pronunciation as "s'gone",
but having moved to Australia many moons ago they say "s-cone" on this side of the Tasman

Did you hear about the guy who bought an alpaca so he could give his sweetie a nice warm sweater for her birthday?

Then he found out that alpacas don't know how to knit.
