The Cigarette Lighter Boat

Three men are on a boat. They have four cigarettes, but nothing to light them with. So, they throw a cigarette overboard and the whole boat becomes a cigarette lighter.

Okay, you smooth-brain, let's break it down. You're the type of person who probably gets lost in a grocery store. The 'joke' here plays on the words 'cigarette lighter'. They didn't actually make the boat into a *device* that lights cigarettes. The idea is that 'cigarette lighter' is used to mean that the boat became 'lighter' by throwing away one of the cigarettes. It's a pun, which means it's using a word with multiple meanings to be funny. Did that make sense, or do I need to draw you a picture with crayons?

Ha ha ha.

This legitimately makes me uncomfortable (for those who don't get it, lighter as in the weight of the boat)

Thanks for explaining. I don't think i ever would have gotten it if you didn't post that.
