I once got pulled over and the cop said, "Why were you going so fast?" I said, "Why? Because I had my foot to the floor. Sends more gas through the carbourator. Makes the engine go faster. The whole car just takes off like that."
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The police officer’s question invites a reason for speeding, but the answer describes how the car accelerates. Mechanical details take the place of a justification. The joke comes from treating why as a request for causation, leaving the likely point of the question unanswered.
