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.
The psychiatrist was assuring the husband : “Don’t worry about your wife. You'll have a different woman when she gets back from hospital.”
Husband : ......
I. ‘And what if she finds out ?”
II. ‘No sir, I love my wife’.
The psychiatrist said that the man's wife would be completely different (in the sense that she would experience a major change in her personality) after the treatment. Hence, any line that uses the words 'different woman' in the context of having another person altogether shall be funny.
1. This is a funny statement as it shows that the words of the psychiatrist were used in a different context altogether, and the man used a punchline in the context of having another woman and his wife finding it out.
2. This is a funny statement as well as he uses the line in context of there being another woman. However, the two punchlines are opposite in nature as the man's attitude of having another woman is different in the two.
