"Sure, but it's made of submarine steel."
"What does this mean?"
"He shows up again."

I had figured this one to be one of the jokes that pick out the people who will laugh at anything. Like:fresh_42 said:You can have the hammer but you have to return (shows up) it.
I, too, was wondering what that joke was talking u-boot.Grelbr42 said:Erm?
This is the kind of joke that always makes me wonder: The joke is so lame that I don't want to give it a thumbs up so as to not encourage future publications of similar jokes ... but "lame jokes" is the subject of the thread, thus it corresponds exactly to the expected criteria! So I'm always torn between reacting well to it or not.fresh_42 said:"Can you lend me the hammer?"
"Sure, but it's made of submarine steel."
"What does this mean?"
"It shows up again."
... and in addition, I got caught in laziness, letting Google translate it without making the effort to check the result. let alone choose the correct pronoun and verb.jack action said:This is the kind of joke that always makes me wonder: The joke is so lame that I don't want to give it a thumbs up so as to not encourage future publications of similar jokes ... but "lame jokes" is the subject of the thread, thus it corresponds exactly to the expected criteria!

So to beat the proverbial dead horse (erm, joke) a bit more, I now understand it to be something like:fresh_42 said:The problem was that Google gave me "show up" for "auftauchen" which should have been "breaking the surface" in English. We say "auftauchen" for subs and for things that "show up" again after being out of sight.
