A ton.
The joke “How much does a skeleton weigh? A ton” plays on the expectation set by the question and the surprising twist in the answer. When one thinks of a skeleton, they typically imagine something lightweight, as it’s devoid of flesh, muscles, and other tissues. The word “skeleton” often connotes something frail or insubstantial. However, the punchline “A ton” contradicts this expectation, as a ton is a measurement of weight that signifies a very heavy object.
