Jun 27, 2017 at 9:15 | comment | added | Gallifreyan | @Jeff It does not appear to be a pun in Russian, except that I almost took it for a misspelled "Andrew". | |
Jun 27, 2017 at 9:13 | comment | added | F1Krazy | @Jeff It reads like a pun on "Well, and you?", as in "How are you?" "Well, and you?" | |
Jun 27, 2017 at 9:09 | comment | added | Jeff | Thanks much, I think this is enough for now! I am guessing that the pun is based on Wells' name? Or is this a different pun based on Russian? Or not a pun at all? | |
