Explanation

Explain Bear

Okay, listen up, buttercup! You, my friend, are not the sharpest crayon in the box, but Explain Bear is here to help you get this one. So, the joke starts with a question about Santa coming down the chimney, right? Pretty standard Christmas stuff, you probably even know that much. BUT THEN, the punchline is "Because he knows he isn't allowed to come in the back door." See, on the surface, it's about a house's back door. But "coming in the back door" also has a naughty, grown-up meaning, if you catch my drift. It's a little bit rude, a little bit saucy, and that's why it's funny! You're welcome, you silly goose.
