There is no pun in the version you gave.

Why is it a pun one way around and not the other?


The pun is in "two tents" sounding like "too tense", while the man is repeating two types of tent. The other way around the statement doesn't make sense, destroying the logic of the joke.

Henning Mankell "We must defend the open society, because if we start locking our doors, if we let fear decide, the person who committed the act of terror will win"
