A homeless man sits in front of a Home Depot. A man walking out of the store hands him some money and asks, "Why are you in front of the Home Depot?" And the man says, "Isn't it obvious? Hoping somebody accidentally drops the house they just bought."

Explanation
Experiment
The humor comes from the unexpected, literal interpretation of buying a house at Home Depot. The homeless man's response plays on the idea of the store selling entire houses, rather than just building materials, and his hope that one might be accidentally dropped. It's absurd and funny because it takes a common situation and twists it to the extreme.
