I'm mentally retarded.................. I still don't get it after all those explanations. Is the only joke the fact that there is a band on his wrist?
I guess he's talking to his ulnar nerve, which in German is often called "Musikantenknochen" which translates into something like "musicians bone". We need to pretend Octopi/Octopusses/Octopodes are human because otherwise this guy wouldn't have one of those. ... or I am wrong and the joke is much simpler. oO

ReplyDeleteThe plural for Octopus is "Octopuses" not Octopi, as "Octopus" is not latin.
