    I love this episode. As a non-native English speaker, I can laugh and learn at the same time. Thank you, Luke, you're helping me to enjoy more English jokes. I love these jokes: ”Bad example“,”Sluggish snail“,“You have my WORD”,"Mirror Factory“,“Being frank”,“The Titanic is syncing”,”Calendar factory“,”Seasoned veteran“,“Sleep naturally“,“Resisting a rest”. Double meaning jokes are very funny to me. I also learned several idioms and vocabularies, love it !

    Thanks Luke for the explanation, useful for expanding the vocabulary and remembering the words because in context. I understood three or four jokes before the dissection! My favorites are "useless as a bad example" and "brilliant before speaking", I guess because these are not just jokes, but also elegant ways to say "idiot" or "stupid" to someone without using direct words and if it is, that person does not understand. I always find this kind of jokes very funny, maybe because I'm not capable of it, my brain is not so fast, so sometimes I think things like that but too late. Maybe I'm the idiot :-)
