It doesn't make sense. Is it even funny? Because it's only absurd? And stupid? Why are they always checking?
The punchline of a shaggy dog story?
A retired Belgian structural engineer named Pip spent seven years building a 1:1 scale replica of the Chartres Cathedral in his backyard, constructed entirely out of compressed crispbread and hardened goat cheese. He called it the Symphony of Lactic Gothicism.
The local council, naturally, had questions. But every time an inspector showed up, Pip would sit them down, offer them a warm mug of unsweetened chicory, and launch into a three-hour lecture on the tensile strength of baked rye versus the acoustic dampening properties of fermented whey. The inspectors always left confused, slightly dehydrated, and unable to render a verdict.
Eventually, the local wolf population—a pack of three that had migrated from France purely out of spite—took up residence in the south transept. They didn't hunt. They didn't howl at the moon. They just sat in the choir stalls, staring intently. Etc. etc. ... "Because," Pip said flatly, "Wolfs are always checking their mobiles."
A long-drawn joke
Oh if only it was...
Can we laugh at the impossible? If something is impossible it appears it's still something. That's a good joke, an imposillity.
