Zig Zag Shaped Coffin

This is a dark, morbid joke. It plays on the idea of Stephen Hawking's death. The twist is that a wooden, zig zag shaped object is his coffin, given the fact that Hawking was disabled and that his body was not straight. The humor comes from unexpected comparison and a slight gallows humor.
