“Why couldn’t the fish go shopping?”/“It didn’t have anemone.”

“Anemone” sounds like “any money,” prompting the joke:
 
Q: Why couldn’t the clownfish afford a house?
A: Because he didn’t have anemone.
 
The joke was cited on Twitter on May 15, 2009. “Why couldn’t the fish go shopping?” was cited in 2014, followed by the same “It didn’t have anemone” punchline.
