I get it: Well, he's well. A well is a hole in the ground full of water...


My old english teacher had all kinds of jokes like that.

double post!

and lol. I always think it's interesting which jokes non-native speakers do and don't get.

Otu and Maldur you both have English as a second language don't you? (God I need to train you guys in linguistics. It would have been so much easier to say L2.)

note: hiveminders not as fond of my fathers cheesy, folksy humor as i am.

English is my second language, yes. (There's an amount of words from other languages scattered among my brain cells, but none of these constitute another language, by the way. )

I think I might have caught it with a little bit of thinking (thinking? What a strange concept for me )

I'm fond of the cheesy humour -- probably because my father is a big proponent of it, too.

Otu: if someone had made a similar pun in German (??) would you have got it faster?
