or you know...he could be doing it for the sake of a laugh.
never let facts get in the way of a good joke, they usually ruin it. Its a joke. Not serious. Not informative. Just laugh.
This happened to me the other day. The joke started with a dog applying for a job at a pet store. First thing someone said: "why is a dog applying for a job at a pet store?"
Its a joke and the facts just killed it
