Well, without sounding stupid. I don't get it.

I'm guessing the humor comes from the fact that whether you put "yes" or "no" in the blank the meaning stays the same. Am I right? Of course other parts of the sentence have to be modified to agree positively or negatively. But maybe it isn't like that in the joke tellers native language so it seems strange to him? Am I right?

BTW it's "I don't have A brain"

**Mainul_Islam** · 03-28-2006

if i choose "Yes" for the first one, does that mean "Yes, the answer is correct" or "Yes, I DO have a brain" ... and if i choose "No", does that mean "No, the answer is incorrect" or "No, I DONT have a brain" ... which?

**bint-ul-islam** · 03-28-2006

if you put yes or no before "i don't have brain " both will mean you don't have brain ...hehe
its like some one say
" i think you don't have brain " and you say "yes , i don't have.."

or some one ask "Do you have brain? " and you say " no , i don't have .."

But the first part of the sentence a minor sentence, it usually has very little to do with the rest of the sentence. i.e. 'Oh no! I don't have a brain' etc...
