See, it's funny because a pH 10 solution would be basic.
The joke subverts your expectations. You see the, "[y]ou're a 10..." and think it's going to be a compliment, that the 10 is on a scale of 0-10.
But, no...they've put the 10 on a logarithmic pH scale where 10 means that the solution contains 1 x 10-10 moles of H+ ions per liter of solution.
Hah, take that!
You've been served!
