Listen up, genius. The joke implies that in Afghanistan, calling a suicide prevention hotline gets you asked if you can fly a plane. Get it? It's funny because it plays on stereotypes about Afghanistan and terrorism, suggesting they need pilots more than mental health support. You probably also think that you should put metal in a microwave.
