@Djtecha@lemm.ee asked a snarky and well deserved question in response to RangerJosie’s either uninformed or specifically malicious comment. Rhetorically, they asked

Do you think you’ll get bill numbers or something here?

Intentionally, and for comedic effect, I pretended to misread this question to say “Do you think you’ll get Bill’s number or something here?”

Since this is a political community, I decided to pretend that Djtecha was offering Bill Clinton’s phone number. I threw Hillary’s name in the mix to keep the theme political vs sexual since Bill is often an easy target on that front.

Then, I used this joke to bridge the gap to include everyone’s favorite advocate, Bernie Sanders. Finally, I crafted a situational punchline to make it sound like I’m a smitten party on a phone call with Bernie Sanders, doing the classic teenager “no you hang up first.” Finally, instead of saying something like “fine, but sing me that song I love until I fall asleep,” I acted like I’d ask Bernie to explain single-payer healthcare and why everyone deserves it until I fall asleep.

I hope I’ve clarified on my latest episode of my joke apparently wasn’t funny, and this explanation is surely making things worse. Y’all have a nice night!
