This joke would be rather hard to translate to my language because we use the same word for dirt (as in, 'soil' - in fact, in certain cases for actual soil, as well) as for Earth. Or ground.

We only have a separate word for the unclean meaning of dirt, or a compound word containing dirt to denote soil.

I can easily imagine this as an actual attempt from a beginner English speaker from home.
