Instructions

We come across many funny incidents related to different walks of life. One of the funny incident is the punchline or a climax — which gives the incident a sudden transformation or twist (into something not expected). It is this punchline which makes the incident funny.
In each of the following questions an incident is described but the punchline is missing - indicated by a blank. After the incident, two statements numbered I and II are given. Considering the- incident, you have to decide which of the two statements fits as a punchline.

Question 87

The grand-son reported to his father : “Dad the car has developed some trouble. There is water in its carburettor”? When the father asked how it happened, he replied : “........
I. Oh, I was checking the carburrettor when, suddenly, it began to rain.
II. Oh, I was driving the car when the bridge collapsed suddenly and fell into a river.

Solution

The son was talking about the carburetor having some water. Hence, any reason against the practical notions shall be a good punchline. 

Statement 1 is not a funny line, considering the possibility of rain while he was checking the carburetor. It can actually be a valid reason. 

Statement 2 is funny, since the line seems to exaggerate the incident, and had the car fallen off the bride, it would not exist anymore.
