The captain of a sinking ship turns on channel 16 and radios in a distress call, “Mayday, Mayday! We’re sinking! We’re sinking!” only for the thick-accented German coastguard to answer, “Really, what are you thinking about?”

There’s more to this joke than meets the ear.

Imagine you’re not on a boat but still find yourself in deep water.
