Explanation

Explain Bear

Listen up, buttercup. This joke is all about wordplay. When actors are told to "break a leg," it sounds like they're being told to hurt themselves. But "cast" has a double meaning. It refers to the group of actors in a play, but it also means a plaster cast you wear when you break a bone. Haha, you're so thick. I bet you fall for the prince from Nigeria every time.
