Her jacket’s zipper
My zipper!
The joke “What has 40 teeth and holds a monster at bay? My zipper” is a play on words that juxtaposes a seemingly menacing setup with an everyday object. The initial question, “What has 40 teeth and holds a monster at bay?”, prompts listeners to imagine a ferocious creature or a powerful tool capable of restraining something dangerous. The term “teeth” and “monster” evoke images of danger and intrigue. However, the punchline, “My zipper,” humorously subverts these expectations. Zippers do have “teeth,” which are the interlocking components allowing them to function. The “monster” is cheekily implied to be the person’s genitalia, adding a risqué twist.
