You are not alone with/in your failure to understand...raised speaking English and there's nothing humorous about/in/with some of the submissions/offerings...this is from an incurable punster.

A bigoted teacher told the kids that before they could go out for recess they had to spell a word. He asked the white girl to spell cat, the white boy to spell dog, and the boy he didn't like to spell Worcestershire sauce.

It may be more of a regional/specialized joke, though. It's about the pronounciation of words like 'Worcester', 'Leicester', pronounced respectively as 'Wooster', 'Lester', etc. Maybe some Brits like @DrClaude can expand on it? Or don't know if there are Massachusettsians around?

I've read the explanation for how Romans were such great engineers despite using this number system, like MM times, but I've never remembered it. Edit: I mean, if we must compute MMLV * XVI -CDII =?
This is how I won a bet with someone about how he could compute any multiplication of two two-digit numbers in his head in 30 seconds or less. Hmm...I have an M, and I carry XX...
