I guess, the joke is that clipped toenails sometimes catapult off so far that they might as well have launched out of orbit. You won't find them again either way...
You had a problem with getting the joke and blame it on not being funny instead of accepting that not everyone needs to understand every joke? I literally didn't have to stop and think about this because I got it on the spot. Does that mean it's objectively funny and everyone else will get it on the spot? No, people have their own preferences and experiences changing their perspective and understanding of things.
That’s not what he meant by “guess”, so I’m guessing English isn’t your L1. That’s fine. The thing I am gonna give you stick for is getting so riled up by a comic strip you didn’t get that you’re grumping at strangers about it 🤣👉🏼
If I clip all ten toe nails I would say I'll be able to find 8-9 max! One or two always take off wherever with no chance to be recovered. So i could relate to the strip immediately.
