See, thats why I think a lot of non-germans don't get German humor, there isn't a scenario where you say "10 inches soft" that isn't a dick joke, so when the punchline comes around "haha it is about penis", the recipient is confused thinking they missed the real punchline.
To be fair, we understood the joke ahead of time (and found it to be a bit "on the nose,"/direct compared to some of the jokes/names we've heard), but their insistence on explaining the joke (in English, to English speakers) somehow made it so much funnier
