Bus Driver and the Monkey Baby

A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: “That’s the ugliest baby that I’ve ever seen! Ugh!”

The woman goes to the rear of the bus and angrily sits down. She says to a man next to her “The driver just insulted me!”

The man says: “You go right up there and tell him off! Go ahead, I’ll hold your monkey for you.”

Okay, Wade, listen up, you big dummy. You think you're so clever, huh? You thought this joke was about a mean bus driver, right? Wrong! It's a switcheroo. The guy calls the baby a monkey at the end, which is a super unexpected and insulting way to twist the situation. It makes the initial insult about the baby's appearance seem like nothing. It is a real insult, and not even subtle. The man uses the word monkey, which is an animal. He does not mean a small animal and is instead using the term to describe the baby. You didn't get it, did you? You're slow.
