    Well, that sort of highlights my issue and why i assume they meant mobile data. If they are, in the joke, connected to WiFi, then they wouldn’t be surprised by the signal strength. Because they are near a router and therfore the signal is good enough to use. You aren’t typically able to connect to WiFi if the signal is below -70 -80 decibels.

    I think its fairly clear that they meant mobile data as this is something you would be surprised to still have if you were lost in a cave.

    Not that i wouldn’t be surprised to find WiFi down there, just that i wouldn’t be surprised by the strength of the WiFi signal if i was standing close enough to a router to see the SSID.

        Well, it wasn’t the best joke to begin with. I doubt anyone gave it more than a …ha… when they read it.

        Do you?

        Did you?

          I bet you’re every comedian’s favorite heckler at the comedy club.

          It’s a joke, not a cock - don’t take it so deep. If it’s not funny, glance over it and move on. Like Don Quixote tilting at mediocrely humored windmills.
