Re: [lojban] "any John" -- is it possible to translate this?

Well, this is my attempt:

.i le cmene pe mi cu mintu fi'o cmene la.djan.

.i ma prenu fi'o cmene la.djan.

.i lo prenu fi'o la.djan.

I've found this joke on bash.org.ru site (the Russian clone of bash.org),
my rough translation into English follows:

- What's the name of you?
-- The same as of John.
- Of which John?
-- Of any John.

Is it possible to translate it into Lojban? I suppose "any John" may be
difficult.
