      I don’t think you explained it.

      ‘Wears’ the soap? Where is the double meaning? Are you translating it from another language?

        I had to find the answer from this online. The first sentence is being interpreted by the second nun as: the soap wears away, doesn’t it? Because the second nun has been using it to masturbate.

    There is a homophone in english: where’s and wears. The joke is that you say it aloud and the emphasis on the sentence becomes a statement.

    Where is the soap

    Vs

    It is wearing the soap down.

    And all it sounds like is “weh-ers tha soap”.
