    I’m not sure I get it. Is there a joke in there somewhere? Please help me I think I have early onset Alzheimer’s.

            Like, even so. I’m not one to usually miss the subtle nuances as long as I understand the context or whatever, but I’m honestly completely lost on this one. Completely stumped. I’ve got nothing from this.

      Far Side comics* aren’t very deep. They make the most sense when you don’t think about them too much. Think of the dumbest, most surface-level punchline you can think of when you read one: that’s usually the joke.

      (But yeah I never found them all that funny myself, either, and I grew up with them. They’re Boomer humor for sure.)

        Far Side comments aren’t very deep.

        That’s been my impression as well; I also somewhat grew up with them. About one in ten or maybe slightly more would be funny funny. Rest are 😐

        Oh, they aren’t aware of the hull breach? I thought they meant “waiting for help”.

        Either way, I don’t see the funny. 😐

      I feel like they’re going to murder the captain and make it look like an accident because he got them stuck there
