only American English is accepted in the

Q.

you can get if necessary. Back up in computing means a copy of file you keep and
use if the original is lost. In this joke, it
means that the candidate for the police
job means that he alone can't arrest his
mother, he needs extra support. This
means his mother is too dangerous/ difficult for him to deal with alone!
2) Eveready as you know is a famous brand
of battery. Frito lay here, I think, is also the
brand name of some substance made of
glass and used for technical purposes.
3) The girl says, 'come on over, there's
nobody home'. He went there expecting
the girl to be alone at home, but 'nobody'
(including the girl) was at home! The girl
fooled him.
4) Who is the one reading this joke? You, I or
for that matter, anyone who is reading the
joke. The father monkey means that the
reader of the joke is ugly, and so the son
monkey need not feel bad about being
ugly.
