    Just because amphibians are amphibious doesn't mean amphibious things are amphibians. The words are not interchangeable as you used them earlier. Meanwhile, ambidextrous has to do with being able to use both hands well. This is probably why you don't get the joke.

    You guys are trying too hard.

    English is my first language. I "get" the joke. Ambidextrous/amphibious. I get why its supposed to funny. And it was kind of funny the first 100 times I heard it, but its been done to death and is now lame and hackneyed. Which was my original point.

    Its the equivalent of someone saying "time for you to get get a watch!" when someone asks for the time. Yeah, maybe that was funny in 1983, but now its trite and lame.

    I'm done.

    I just told my best friend the joke and he's crying. He's creating a new account so he can explain the joke to you.

    You obviously don't get the joke if you think that is the equivalent.

    This has nothing to do with watches. I always thought English was his first language.

    Guess I was wrong.

    "time for you to get get a watch!" is the comical answer you say when someone asks you ""What time is it"

    Its funny because they wanted to know the time of day but you gave them a completely different answer.

    NVM this language barrier is to much. You don't understand
