      A better joke would be if there was some sort of double meaning that the other order of words had

      Yeah but the subverted expectation actually has to make sense with some double meaning or unintended logical resul. If it doesn’t then nothing was subverted and no such joke occurred.

      That’s what they’re asking about.

          I’ve seen every episode countless times. My reaction to this was “huh?”

          Jokes need to make sense in context, or else they’re just nonsensical. That is how humor works. This does not work.

          I’m sure OP has plenty of other good ones, but this one didn’t land. Just like the Enterprise!
