Heartwarming Japanese Part 2

"Does this fish have moles?"
Following the example of a non-native Japanese speaker who mistook the "scales" of a fish for "hokuro," here is another slightly funny Japanese saying mistake.
One day, I was passing by a restaurant that had previously caught fire,
I said, "Is this the restaurant where you got burned before?"
This is an expression that I would like to compliment.
I am sure the person who said it did not intend to do so,
But when I hear this kind of imaginative or creative expression,
I felt like I could be happy for the rest of the day.
I wonder if a native Japanese speaker would be able to do this if he or she wanted to.
Please look forward to the next time!
