You could use 'round sounds' instead of vowels, to get the breast pun through; considering that most consonants aren't particularly round.
I wouldn't want to confuse ESL speakers though, who might think that "the wolf" or "the one" are pronounced as "thee wolf" and "thee one". The approximants are particularly problematic.
(Strictly speaking, roundedness is a vowel property, while the equivalent property for non-vowels would be labialization. [Personally, I think the distinction is mostly academic]. The problem is that all of this can be perceived as "round sounds" by a layman, adding to the confusion.)
Also, there are vowels that are not round, like the classic [a]/"aaah", and its close relative [ä] found in Atago.
Ah, the NZ accent has a slightly different distribution of the pronunciation of 'the'. Which I keep forgetting, like, all the time. (we also use rounded vowels a little more than some other dialects of English)
Dang linguistics, always getting in the way of a good joke.

Changed slightly to accommodate the pun. See below.

Kiyoshimo-chan. You should pronounce 'the' as a "thee" in front of a vowel.Thuh Arm...
Хорош—
DOOMDOOMDOOMDOOM...What do you mean by "then"?Then it's Thuh Ooyodo-san, right!Oh my, I think you misunderstood things a little.Original pun: Vowel = Boin, which also happens to be similar for the sound of bouncing breasts.
