intermediateTo understand yesterday’s joke, it is helpful to know how we use the preposition ‘on’.

We say: A program is ‘on’ TV – this means you can see the program on the screen.

Dust is ‘on’ the TV – this means the TV is dirty!

She said, “I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.”

I bought her a scale. And then the fight started…

QUESTION: Do you get it?

Why is this joke funny?
