1. We use the word "tense" to refer to grammatical timeframes. "Tense" also means a feeling of tension.
2. "Eight" and "ate" are pronounced exactly the same way.
3. "Tank" can mean an aquarium or a military vehicle.

The past , present and future refer to the past , present and future tenses in English grammer.
All of them walked into a bar . It was tense > Yes , there are all tenses , but tense also means a situaion with a nervous atmosphere or full of anxiety . One word two meaning joke
Why is six afraid of seven? - because seven eight nine.
Six is afraid of seven because seven ate nine > here ate sounds like eight > A play with pronunciation joke.
Two fish are in a tank. One fish turns to the other fish, and says, " how do you drive this thing?"
Two fish are in a fish tank or tank for short . When one fish asked the other how to drive this thing, it was referring to a tank which is a military vechicle > One word two meanings joke.
