La uva verde se enfadó/puso enfadada cuando la uva morada (dejó de cumplir una apuesta)en ingles se puede decir
welch on a bet. El chiste es que, no se si en Mexico es igual, Welsh es una marca de jugo de uva
La uva morada le dijo a la verde,"no me exprimes tanto por el dinero"(put the squeeze on es un dicho que significa
presionar alguien para consiguir una cosa). Tambien se puede put the squeeze on una uva para obtener jugo.

In addition to trying to explain the puns, this is also an excercise in correct Spanish usage. Please advise me of errors.
Thanks.

Exactly right. (minor corrections)

Good luck for the next joke.
