  • 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 !

  • Hi Luke, It is a brilliant idea to talk about jokes. Now, I have a lot of associations for remembering new words. I got 5 of 22 jokes at the first stage. After your explanations, everything is clearly. 🐸 My favorite ones are about a snail, Titanic syncing and kleptomaniacs. Million thanks for your work:)

  • Some of the puns are really fun). Every time I climb the ladder at second floor of my house I recall this joke “ I don’t trust ladders, they always up to something “. I also heard it at other podcast of English tutoring. Best way to leverage your English is listening to native speakers and stand ups as they make you comprehend jokes.

  • 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 :-)

In your case, the sound is as faster as the light; That is why I adore your postings and your commentaries, especially about all kind of very short stories that you pick out with such „esprit de finesse”.

And I didn't know the direct meaning of a "seasoned veteran", although I got the sense of the joke from the "spicy" point of view. And I didn't know the word stabbed. That was a sad joke. This episode is hilarious!
