So the full idea was like this: There’s this guy on a mountain peak and some distance across from him, there’s a group of three other people on top of another peak and the first guy shouts out to them “What’s your range?” which I translate to have meant he wanted to know how far away were they are from him (because???). One of the group replies “To which mate?” referring to his friends, so the joke was that the group leader thought the lone guy wanted to know how far he was from his own friends, instead of how far apart the two groups were.

This idea was enough to wake me from my sleep, laughing, and write a summary for myself to use the next day. What a gold mine.
