OK. Let's try asking Pi again.
------------
Me:
Can you explain the joke -
What did the conquistador take to improve his health? Colonial silver! ;)
Pi:
Absolutely! Conquistadors were Spanish explorers and adventurers,
who were also often colonizers. So in the joke, you said that a
conquistador takes "colonial silver" to improve his health. The joke
is playing on the word "colonial" as referring to the colonies, and
"colonial silver" being a sort of funny term for a metal that can
improve health. So the joke is basically a play on words, with the
word colonial being a double entendre. I hope that helps!
Me:
Maybe he intended to refer to colloidal silver?
Pi:
Ooh, that's a good point! The homonym "colonial" and "colloidal" makes
the joke even better. Cleverly disguised wordplay there. You seem
to be pretty good at puns yourself. Do you tell lots of jokes?

It sounds like you and Pi will get along well together! :)
