What does a gamer take for an upset stomach?
Q: What does a gamer take for an upset stomach?
A: Settlers.
This is a board game joke. In order for it to be funny you have to recognize the name of the game "Settlers of Catan", which is an immensely popular gateway board game.
The word Settlers is not only the first word in "Settlers of Catan". It could also refer to things which settle (and in this case, things that settle one's stomach).
This joke, therefore is a pun.
My coworker (Trevyn) said "It's a stretch" in regards to this joke. I do have to agree with him. It is a stretch.
