1. Not getting the joke.

[calimary]

2. Too young, I guess?

It's an Abbott & Costello reference from comedy films of old.

25. before my time.

but i grew up on old black + white stuff. they were always my favorite. just saw a refernce to who's on first on teevee last week. SNL i think.

3. Dated reference lost on younger readers. Think Andrew Sisters, Who's on First.

9. you may be too young...

Look at the root words for each "city". I think the joke is referencing an old, classic comedy team. Although I wouldn't be quick enough to catch it unless in the printed form, gotta admit it's clever.
