In that case, I'd recommend making a lujvo like {xamterbasti}, with a place
structure "x1=b3 is a joke/pun/quip/jape/whatever resulting from using
x2=b1 in place of x3=b2 to humorous effect, perpetrated by and for the
amusement of x4=xajmi2".  If you want you could stick {valsi} in there if you
need to, but the more general term could be used not only for wordplay, but
for practical jokes (replacing sugar with salt, or whatever).
