    So it’s a misstranslated joke then. With that information it’s kinda funny or at least it makes sense.

      More like untranslatable, as the context just doesn’t work in English. You either have something that doesn’t make sense or - if you use the other meaning - a statement with no humor. The pun is completely dependent on the German phrasing.
