The Disgusting English Candy Drill

[Bryan Snyder]

Ok... I don't have the Companion on me. so I'll try to phrase my question as
best as possible.

I understand a pun to be the purposeful confusion of similar words or
phrases.  Now... I also understand that the reason the For DeMille pun
works:

For DeMille, young fur-henchmen can't be rowing = Forty Million Frenchmen
can't be wrong

The Disgusting English Candy Drill = ????

what's the PUN?  I feel so dumb... lol..

Thanks for the help everyone.
