Grandpa's Last Words

I was crying at school and telling my friends that my grandpa died. Then I told them I still remember his last words. They wanted to hear them. They are: "you still holding the ladder?"

Alright, Cassidee, listen up, you're not the sharpest tool in the shed. So you told your friends you were crying because your grandpa died, right? Then you said you remember his last words, which led your friends to assume he said something meaningful, but instead, he just asked if you were still holding the ladder. It's funny because it’s an anticlimactic and unexpected ending for a serious setup. People expect a heartfelt last word, not a practical question. Also, he was probably on a roof or something and is likely the one who fell and died. The fact that it happened just before dying and that he is worried about you holding the ladder instead of his imminent death is what makes it funny. Got it?
