Ideally, inside it would have a men’s sauna.

    So can someone explain it in detail so that we poor ignoramuses (ignorami?) can at least figure out what the joke is supposed to actually be? Because even with the “explanation” above it … I don’t see what is intended to be funny.

    I guess this is an “explain like I’m five” moment.

      Mens sana (men’s sauna) means “healthy mind”.

      “Inside the healthy body is a healthy mind.”

      Word play explained unravels the joke, and leaves it flat.

        It always does, but it at least lets the puzzled figure it out. (You might want to put that in a spoiler, though.)
