Parental Reactions

When I was 14, my mum caught me wanking, and she slapped me across the face. A couple weeks later, my dad caught me having a beer, and he made me drink 40 beers. I just thought, "Well, I'm glad he didn't catch me wanking."

The joke plays on the contrasting reactions of the narrator's parents to different teenage behaviors. The mom's violent reaction to masturbation and the dad's excessive response to drinking are both extreme. The humor comes from the fact that he thinks he got the better deal with the beer punishment even though it was also extreme. It highlights the absurdity of parental reactions.
