It's just a time system that can easily convert from one to the other. Not something to stake your superiority on.
I never claimed superiority. I only said that since Europeans are accustomed to 24h system, the joke becomes difficult to understand, because we don't have this problem.
But if you perceive this as some sign of superiority, well...
This is where empathy becomes a good skill to have. I'm certain you can understand the basic setup of the joke even though the exact situation may not be likely in your culture.
The joke isn't even about the time, it's about their anxious thinking.
