It doesn't have to be a good joke to understand the joke. those are separate qualities.

Agreed. It's possible to understand some bad, unfunny jokes.

> those are separate qualities.

They're related qualities. A good joke depends on its being understood.

You both are being pedantic and disingenuous .
Haha thank you for understanding. I meant oil saints but couldn't remember in the moment.
Ahh, thank you!
True, but I don't think I understand the joke. That's why I asked. It's not terribly important, though.
