The punchline should be written "You probably won't believe it but the answer is 5!." to eliminate confusion about the role of the exclamation point. Is it punctuation? Is it a maths operator?
"Yes."

Looks like the electrical line isn’t connected, but that could just be the picture.
That and I’ve NEVER dealt with a trailer system on a car, so I’ve no experience in the matter.

no pin in the top bit. also those break lights look kinda sketch. be sure to double check that they work. cops love pulling you over about that. also the backup chain for if the trailer comes off looks equally sketch. if that trailer pops off you will lose the pin holding the peg holding your hitch.

Oooh. Nice catch with the top pin- I was too busy looking at the side one on the car.

The Korean War: where the guy who won was stopped by his own superiors, because he was literally winning too much.
Does Mercedes simply not exist in America?

They do, but in a fairness to the meme-creator, the folks who drive beemers and the folks who drive benzes over here have a /lot/ of overlap. Beemers slightly trend more to yuppie/preppy/doctor new money, while benzes trend move to trustfundies/lawyer/banker. That noted - the meme-maker completely overlooked how popular Jeeps are in Florida - seems like every fifth car here is some sort of Jeep (not complaining, mind you). They're even more popular than the golf carts - which seem to have become the local version of a minivan in some places.

Not really. You see there is a problem with the Korean war no one wants to speak about.
We had nothing to fight with. From 1945 to 1950 the US Military was preparing to fight a nuclear war, not a conventional one. Thus the other services were allowed to go to pot. Including the US Army. Only the Chairforce came out ahead with strategic bombers.
Korea starts off and it "Holy shit dude, what can we fight this with? "
They pulled redlined weapons out of storage and pressed them into service. They yanked Sherman tanks off of memorials to use to fight the Chinese. Mao was sitting on a battle-hardened army. He could have Zerg rushed the US and there was nothing we could do about it.
That isn't true though.
Initially we were caught off guard and had to push back but the Sherman's were not brought off memorials.
We had plenty left over in Japan.
He'll, the reason we couldn't stop the initial charge was because we only left M24s on Pen.
Once we had Sherman's in Pusan we basically stopped then in thier tracks, followed by the Incheon landing.
By the time we got all of South Korea back, we had Pershings deployed in large numbers.
Which were OK thier way out but still viable.
Conventional was still very much the way it was.
We were just preparing in Europe not Asia.
The reason we had issues was because of just how many they sent at us.
We had run out of ammo at Chosun for instance.
I can assure you one thing, Van Fleet, Ridgeway, and MacArthur did not go in with outdated and underequipped men.
By the time we were there, we were rolling out the M41 Walker Bulldogs (Late Korea) and M46 Pattons (late war)
We were not underequipped.

I think that if someone used the sentence in a natural conversation, the meaning would be pretty obvious.
The implicit full sentence is:
"More people have been to Berlin than I have [been to Berlin]."
Its a humorous understatement. Obviously, more people than just the speaker have been to Berlin - but in saying this the speaker is understating just how many people travel to Berlin by comparing it to a single person's travels, their own.
The extremely wonky grammar just adds to the humor that is frequently why people use understatements.
Having said that, its not surprising to me that an extremely technically-minded linguist might just struggle with humor. Anyone who studies language that much either has a great sense of humor or is incredibly dry.

See, I thought that, but then realized that didn't work, and it hit me. In that reading, you might origianally think it's comparing a number of people to a number of times when you went to Berlin. But actually "I have been to Berlin" doesn't create a count, but is a boolean statement (you either have or haven't). It's like saying 20 Million is greater than True. You'd need to insert the word "times" there before "I", but it wasn't.
