Definitely sounds like the kind of joke I'd like if I understood it.

Right, but what makes it work for me is that you have to bring the setup to the table. I think The Far Side is similar in a lot of its humor.
A more obvious setup to the joke is
"Is there a doctor on this plane???"
"Well yes, but I defended my thesis in comparative literature..."
