Me to friend: Do you know about room 40?
Friend: What’s room 40?
Me: Room four deez nuts, got’em!
The joke is a play on words that sets up a bait-and-switch. “Room 40” sounds like a mysterious or significant place, piquing the friend’s curiosity. The punchline “Room four deez nuts, got’em!” reveals that “Room 40” actually stands for “Room four deez nuts,” a twist that sounds like “Room for these nuts.” The humor comes from the unexpected reveal and pun.
