'Tis true, but it's also true that Eumenides is an actual Greek deity (and The Eumenides is a play) that sounds the same (at least when pronounced by this monolingual English speaker.)
So I feel "Eumenides trousers!" is a slightly better variant of the joke.

Yeah, I thought that was a direction too. Slightly over thinking it.
