    I’m curious. If you think about it, what do you think might be the joke? I’m not asking you if it is a funny joke or a joke that you find funny. What do you think the creator intended to be the joke?

      Something about cacti resembling the poses of ancient Egyptian carved figures.

        Oh come on, you can do better with all the information given! Pre internet, reference to a song, change of mind… I believe in you bud!

          Oh, so you’re just pretending that you get it.

            I do get it, bud, though I don’t find it very funny. I’m trying to encourage you to do some critical thinking here. There is more to life than to be served the lowest common denominator of everything that everybody understands effortlessly.

            Try to deconstruct from what your original idea was. It is part of the set up but not punchline. The context that is needed for the joke. There are other hints too and people have commented it in plain text.

              Maybe I don’t get it because it isn’t funny.

                It could be a contributing reason but I don’t think that is why.

                I was going to ask if you want me to help you figure it out, because it’s growing the personality to solve problems and satisfying to figure something out - but considering you keep downvoting me trying to help you, I think I’ll just swing my block hammer and be on my way.

                Ta ta.
