The German "hit" (schlagen) requires "with" (mit) to indicate
the tool. OTOH to indicate someone is wearing glasses we also
use "with" (mit). So the pun is on "with", I guess.
In English the pun seems to be on the confusion as to *who* is
wearing glasses - the victim (characterized by his wearing of
glasses) or the hitman (who is to take his glasses of before
hitting).
