The living room.
The joke “What room do ghosts avoid? The living room” plays on the dual meanings of the word “living.” In the context of a house, a “living room” is a common space where people typically relax, socialize, and entertain. However, the word “living” also refers to the state of being alive, in contrast to being dead or deceased. Ghosts, as traditionally understood, are spirits of the dead. The humor in the joke arises from the juxtaposition of these two interpretations. The punchline suggests that ghosts, being entities of the dead, would naturally avoid a room associated with the “living.”
