Just before Christmas, an honest politician, a generous lawyer and Santa Claus were riding ...
Explanation:
- Setup: "... Just before the doors opened they all noticed a $20 bill lying on the floor. Which one picked it up?"
The setup establishes a scenario in which three individuals, an honest politician, a generous lawyer, and Santa Claus, are in a situation where there’s a little moral/ethical test – a $20 bill on the floor of an elevator. The listener/reader is led to believe that this is a standard setup where one of them will pick it up based on some characteristic or witty rationale.
- Punchline: "Santa of course, because the other two don`t exist!"
The punchline subverts the expectation by implying that the honest politician and the generous lawyer are do not exist. The humor here arises from the common stereotypes and jokes that politicians are not honest and lawyers are not generous. The punchline gives an unexpected answer to the question poised in the setup, surprising the listener/reader, which is a typical mechanism for generating laughs in a joke.
