It just took a huge load.
The husband told her a funny joke.
Because it was taking the piss out of the knickers.
The joke “Why was the washing machine laughing? Because it was taking the piss out of the knickers” employs a play on words and a touch of crude humor. The phrase “taking the piss out of” is a colloquial expression, primarily used in the UK, meaning to mock or ridicule someone. In the joke, this phrase is taken literally, suggesting that the washing machine is removing urine (“piss”) from underwear (“knickers”). The humor arises from the dual meaning of the phrase: the washing machine is both literally cleaning the underwear and metaphorically “mocking” them, leading to the image of the machine “laughing” at its cleverness.
