Huh?
(Trapeze act.)
Thanks for asking @Johnny_L.A
You mad bro? was originally a good-faith question if someone seemed steamed about something, in the early days of the internet when communication wasn’t clearly understood.
Of course it morphed into a response to someone blowing their stack online, similar to “don’t sugarcoat it, tell us how you really feel.”
So how does it relate to an Emir and a Caliph?
No help. Does Umayyad have a meaning in Arabic? Or is there something about ‘You may add’ an Emir and a Caliph? Something about a person in command vs. Mohammed’s successors? You’re going to have to explain it.
The second dynasty of the caliphate
Bear in mind: some jokes are based in cleverness, others in their sheer stupidity. Others still on outrageousness.
One that hit all three was the response to Dick Cheney’s claim that Saddam Hussein had sought yellowcake uranium base from Niger: “Niger please?
This is obvious.
And a fourth criterion: Knowledge of obscure history. Without reading an entire article on history, and how an Emir relates to a Caliph in the context of the pun, it’s beyond me. Sorry, I just don’t see a joke there.
I mean, I’d like to know why it’s funny; but I need a diagram.
I thought it was funny. But then, I have a minor in this stuff.
@Johnny_L.A in all fairness, there’s no helicopter joke you could make that wouldn’t go over my head. (Unless it’s about one you’re operating 
)
I don’t have any helicopter jokes. Unless you count the time I took a friend up and he stuck his leg out the door. Over the collective. While I was taking off.
What did the last Ptolemaic Egyptian say when the Khedivian Egyptian asked her if she had a match?
“Your fez and my asp”
A helicopter loses power over a remote Scottish island and makes an emergency landing.
Luckily, there’s a cottage nearby, so the pilot knocks on the door. “Is there a mechanic in the area?” he asks the woman who answers.
She thinks for a minute. “No, but we do have a McArdle and a McKay.”
Without Arabians, 9/11 wouldn’t exist.
It would be IX/XI instead.
So a man walks into a costume party, with a large semicircle around half his body, and strings across it. A woman walks up to him, and this conversation unfolds.
Woman: what are you wearing?
Man : I’m a harp of course
Woman: but your costume is too small to be a harp.
Man: are you…calling me a lyre?!

Mr. Johnson: Yeah. Always harping.
From Alan King:
It is said that most really great violinists of the last century are and were Jéws.
There are, however, very few Jews among the greatest pianists. Why do you suppose this is the case?
Have you ever tried to make your escape with a piano?
When an Orthodox Jew talks to God, he says “Riboynoy-shel-oylom” (Master of the World).
When a Conservative Jew is in touch with God, he calls Him “Avinu Malkeinu” (Our Father, Our King).
A Reform Jew addresses God as “Oh Lord, Thou art One.”
A Reconstructionist says “To whom it may concern.”
A worried woman asked her rabbi, “Am I permitted to ride in an airplane on Shabbos?”
“Yes,” the rabbi replied, “as long as your seat belt remains fastened. Then it is considered that you are wearing the plane.”

“They tried to kill us. We won. Let’s eat.”
Why is it so important for the groom at a Jewish wedding to stomp on a wineglass?
Because it’s the last time he’ll put his foot down.
Other than “It’s okay.”, “I don’t want anything for my birthday.”, and “Notice anything different about me?”
What other death threats do women use against men?

Confucius say:
“Wife not part of the furniture until screwed on bed.”
A phrase that has struck fear into the heart of every man who’s ever been in a relationship.
It’s not enough to simply guess correctly-- if your answer is phrased in the form of a question, if it has even the mere hint of uncertainty to it, you will still be in big trouble.
Don’t forget the classic, “Do whatever you want.”
This is…cold…
