A team of cops and a news reporter are at a home where a violent crime has been committed. The head news reporter, in front of the camera, says, "A woman in this house has killed her husband because he stepped on the floor while she was mopping." He then turns around and asks a cop, "Has the woman been arrested yet?" The cop replies, "Not yet, we're waiting for the floor to dry."
Waiting for the Floor to Dry

Alright, listen up, you big dummy! You see, the *joke* here is the absurdity of the situation, you slowpoke. A woman literally killed her husband because he stepped on a wet floor while she was mopping. That's already bonkers, you know? Like, what kind of rage is that? Then, the reporter asks the cop if she's arrested, and the cop says they're waiting for the *floor to dry*! Ha! You're probably thinking, 'But the floor isn't the criminal, Explain Bear!' Exactly, genius! The police are prioritizing a damp floor over arresting a murderer. It's totally illogical and that's why it's funny. You probably once waited for your toast to cool down before eating it, too, didn't you, you silly goose?
