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.
• I went to catch the fog this morning, I mist.
• There was someone who slept late... he missed the dream!
• Q: How can you tell the sun is a boy? A: It rises every morning.
