The Magic Tractor

[charliefraser]

Wikipedia
The pun, also called paronomasia, is a form of word play which suggests two or more meanings, by exploiting multiple meanings of words, or of similar-sounding words, for an intended humorous or rhetorical effect. These ambiguities can arise from the intentional use and abuse of homophonic, homographic, metonymic, or metaphorical language
A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs in meaning.
A homograph is a word that shares the same written form as another word but has a different meaning.

"Did you hear about the magic tractor? It turned into a field" is clearly a homophonic pun based around the two similarly looking and sounding words (in to pronounced intoo [http://cache.lexico.com/dictionary/audio/lunaWAV/I02/I0262900.wav] whilst into is pronounced intu [http://img.tfd.com/hm/mp3/I0202700.mp3]). Whilst sounding extremely similar, it also looks extremely similar. Showing it is both partially homographic and homophonic

P.S. Isn't it ironic that the English board misspelled Cheshire?
