Day 9:

How do snails fight?

They slug it out.

3/10, it doesn't really answer the question and instead of making me laugh, reminds me that I've still never figured out whether a snail is just a slug with a shell or whether they're different animals. I've been wondering about this for decades.

What is clear, however, is that snails and slugs arent the same animals. Snails and slugs evolved differently; snails are born with a shell while slugs arent. Taking the shell off of a snail wouldnt make it a slug; it would make it a dead snail.

Day 10:

I was thinking of moving to Moscow...

But there's no point in Russian into things.

2/10, it's a classic pun but the presentation could be better and, well, current events kinda ruined it. Lemme see when this was published...

2018. Yeah, I think it might have gotten a better score then.

Think the joke is much older than that but I guess you meant the book itself

Which side of a duck has the most feathers?

The outside.

3/10, lame.

I dunno if we're gonna do much worse than Roberto and Moscow. I hope we don't do much worse than Roberto and Moscow.

But a tin can isn't a box it's a can. It doesn't make sense.

"Box" is a pun. A matchbox is an object, but the question presents the phrase "match box" as two words, where "box" is a verb, meaning to compete in boxing.

And then the punchline is treated the same way, where the tin can is an object, but the "tin can" refers to a tin being capable of competing at boxing.

I... don't think there's anything to "get" about why they chose the can, other than just that it works grammatically. Like, I dunno if tins have an additional association to boxing or matches.

Day 14:

What do you call a pile of cats?

A meowtain.

6/10. Took me a second. Hard to understand in text, and hard to pronounce, but it did make me chuckle.

I feel that if the punchline was spelled meowntain it would be easier to get.

Day 16:

Where do eggplants come from?

Chicken plants.

3/10. I think at this point, this is the minimum. I keep going "this one is really bad" but then backing up and going "well, I can't rate it less than Roberto."

Because they know all the short cuts!

7/10, I smiled at least.

I mean, it's (probably not intentionally but when has that ever mattered) drawing a connection between disabilities and subservience.
