He’s a rocket man.
The joke “Why doesn’t Elton John eat lettuce? He’s a rocket man” is a pun that combines a reference to popular culture with wordplay. Elton John is a renowned singer-songwriter famous for his song “Rocket Man.” The term “rocket” in the context of the joke, however, also refers to a type of lettuce, known as arugula or rocket salad, commonly used in culinary dishes. The humor comes from the play on words where Elton John, being a “Rocket Man” in the musical sense, is humorously implied to avoid eating “rocket” in the literal sense.
