Whoosh. What's the joke?

[–] masinko@lemmy.world 30 points 3 months ago

Microphone check is usually abbreviated as "mic check".

He did a " Mike check", by asking the room who is Michael, usually abbreviated as Mike.

Mic = Michael (Mike)

Mic (short for microphone) is pronounced the same as the name Mike (sometimes short for Michael)
