Nobody knows.
The joke “What do you call a person without a body or a nose? Nobody knows” is a clever play on words that hinges on homophones and the imagery of a person’s physical attributes. The setup, “What do you call a person without a body or a nose?”, prompts listeners to visualize an unusual, perhaps ghostly or incomplete, figure and ponder a suitable name or descriptor for such an entity. The punchline, “Nobody knows,” delivers the humor through a double entendre. “Nobody” can be broken down to “no body,” referencing the absence of a body, while “knows” sounds like “nose,” referencing the missing nose.
