I had figured this one to be one of the jokes that pick out the people who will laugh at anything. Like:fresh_42 said:
What did one baby say to the other?
What wall?
(Then laugh maniacally and see who joins in.)

The problem was that Google gave me "show up" for "auftauchen" which should have been "breaking the surface" in English. We say "auftauchen" for subs and for things that "show up" again after being out of sight.
0-7. I am very, very disappointed.

Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You learn a lot, but the frog dies.

This is the kind of joke that always makes me wonder: The joke is so lame that I don't want to give it a thumbs up so as to not encourage future publications of similar jokes ... but "lame jokes" is the subject of the thread, thus it corresponds exactly to the expected criteria! So I'm always torn between reacting well to it or not.fresh_42 said:

... and in addition, I got caught in laziness, letting Google translate it without making the effort to check the result. let alone choose the correct pronoun and verb.jack action said:
I found it funny. It reminds me of jokes they make here with kids who want to become a craftsman. It can happen that they send you to the hardware store to get anvil grease or things like that.

I once caused the following dialogue:BillTre said:
"You laugh! Can you explain it to me?"
"No. I just learned when to laugh."

"Can you lend me the hammer?"jack action said:
.... "Sure thing, but be careful with it. It's made of submarine steel."
"Submarine steel? What's so special about that?"
.... "Well, if you use it to hammer a nail, it's going to submarine your thumb!"
"What? That's not funny!"
.... "Hey, you said you wanted it to be funnier.
.... I'm just trying to hammer home a joke here."
..."What's so special about submarine steel?"
"Well, if you use it to nail something down,
it's guaranteed to stay down,
even if Atlantis rises again."
...
Submarine steel? What does that even mean?" asked Tom.
"Well," Jerry said with a smirk, "it means that if you use it to nail something, it'll come back up to the surface again like a submarine."
Tom looked puzzled for a moment before bursting out laughing. "Okay, okay, you got me there! I'll be careful not to accidentally launch anything into orbit!"
...
"Sure, but it's made of submarine steel." "What does this mean?" "Well, it means that if you accidentally drop it in the ocean, it'll sink straight to the bottom! But don't worry, it'll show up again... in a few million years when archaeologists find it and wonder why someone made a hammer out of submarine steel."courtesy: ChatGPT

So to beat the proverbial dead horse (erm, joke) a bit more, I now understand it to be something like:fresh_42 said:
"Can I have my special hammer back you borrowed last week?"
"Oh, sorry! I can't find it right now, but don't worry it will eventually surface."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you did say it was made from submarine steel!"

Two blonds walk into a building.
You'd think one of them would have seen it.
