Following the Sun

The joke plays on the double meaning of "dawned on me." Literally, dawn is when the sun rises, but "it dawned on me" means suddenly understanding something. The humor comes from the juxtaposition of the literal and figurative meanings of the phrase.

• Dawn
• Night
• Darkness
• Time
• Bad
• Day

• I wonder if the sun is going to rise every morning. Then it dawns on me.
• Q: How can you tell the sun is a boy? A: It rises every morning.
• I followed the sun for a day (stood there at noon). I found myself at the same spot.
• Why is the sun famous? Because it’s a shining star. Sorry for posting this!
