Cars have windows. Houses have windows. So it can’t be windows that makes the car go.
I swear I don’t understand, and he tried to explain it to me. He said it’s a double meaning with Windows the operating system but I just don’t don’t don’t get it.
Can anyone make this understandable to me? I may have screwed up the retelling, because honestly I have no idea what the hell’s going on with this joke.
The poster commenting on mobile homes forgets that he’s not saying that all houses can’t move, just that if any houses can’t move, the windows must not be a factor
Diogenes would have fucked that dude up
All houses can move.
Some only once.

Damn, lol. He might need to show this to his friend also.
Reminds me of this one :
“Honey, close the window, it’s raining outside.”
…
“Love, I did close the window, but it’s still raining outside.”
I’ve heard this before, but more in the context of a proverb than a proper joke. As far as meaning, I think it’s along the lines of “correlation doesn’t equal causation,” but not exactly.
Yeh I think if he hadn’t called it a “joke” the meaning would come more naturally but then again he explicitly said it’s somehow got something to do with the operating system called windows so WTF?
The closest example of similar humor I can think of is in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, during the trial of trying to figure out if the woman is a witch. The scientist is there to settle it for the peons, and uses “logic” to solve the problem of whether she is a witch. Ultimately they decide that if she weighs the same as a duck, she must be made of wood, which floats on water, and therefore a witch. It’s a series of nonsensical correlations misconstrued as fact, and it’s funny because we the viewers understand the absurdity of it.
I think it’s more a bit of wordplay than a joke exactly, but that your friend said is in the same vein. What on earth makes cars go? Well it can’t be windows, can it? Houses have windows and they don’t go at all! Whether you find that funny is obviously subjective but I also think delivery and conversational context are very important for humor like this.
Reminds me of the Seinfeld New Yorker comic episode
I am so confused right now. I don’t see the joke written down anywhere. The post just links to an AI generated looking image of a woman in a red dress sitting on a red car in front of a building. Is that the joke itself?
Sorry the joke is in bold. It’s about cars and windows.
AI generated image of a car parked in front of a building. I got the woman for free, because SkyNet.
