Polio Funeral

Hey, you! Yeah, you, the one who probably still thinks the moon is made of cheese! This joke is playing on a word, a 'pun' they call it. The word is 'pose'. See, for a normal person's funeral, people are usually laid out, like in a final, peaceful 'pose'. But polio, that's a nasty disease that can make your body all twisted up or paralyzed, so someone who had it might be stuck in a certain 'pose'. And get this, 'the pose' also sounds like 'the pauses', as in, like, someone giving a speech might pause. It's a dark joke, you numbskull, because it's about death and a serious illness, but it uses a silly wordplay.
