Jimmy Valentine's first name is an ironic joke, because Jimmy Valentine is a safe cracker by profession. There are several ways to crack a safe. One is using a crowbar to pry open or 'jimmy' the door of the safe. Valentine's name is a play on the name of one method used in his line of work. However, Jimmy's technique was to drill through the lock and punch it out thereby releasing the door. The pun still works very well.

Jimmy Valentine's first name is a little joke because it is a stereotypical alias used by Safe Crackers at the time. It was a common pseudonym that added a layer of irony to his character as he transforms from a notorious criminal to a reputable citizen.

What was the first joke in Narnia?

The first joke in Narnia was the jackdaw. It occurred when all the talking beasts responded to Aslan's command that, because they had been taken out of "dumb", non-talking beasts, they were not to return to that state. All the animals responded with a resounding "No, Aslan, we won't!", but in the brief silence that followed, the jackdaw then called out, "No fear!" causing everyone to laugh.At first the jackdaw was embarrassed, but when Aslan told them they were free to laugh and joke, the jackdaw proudly asked if he had made the first joke. In jest, Aslan replied, "No, little friend. You have not made the first joke. You have only been the first joke." Thus, the jackdaw became the first joke.

The first time I heard this line was in a Jimmy Durante song, during The Jimmy Durante Show / Texaco Star Theater, Original Air Dates: 1954 - 1956 (NBC), called Start Off Each Day With A Song.
