Eli's first joke

After the set at Mr. Baek's club, Eli tells his first joke in Korean and the band judges it: can I tell a joke too, in Korean, go on, what's the fastest bird in the world, don't know, the blink of an eye, that joke has a beard, but short and the twist at the end, he didn't laugh first and the timing was good, funny for Teach, from Ho-jin it'd be a miracle.
