Maybe someone has a router down there

    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 now that we’ve thoroughly analyzed the joke to death…

    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.

    Hey, fair enough, dont really heckle comedians. Its their show, unless its something they actively seek in their audience, i wouldn't think about it.

    I didnt mean to over analyse the joke, i just asked a question about the synonimity of WiFi and mobile data and was challenged on the intent behind the use of the word WiFi, so i responded with my take on what was intended. It wasn't to ruin the joke. It was to validate my question about the use of WiFi when i believe they meant mobile data.

    Frankly you are the one who made it about ruining the joke.
