उत्तर
- Your wasted time will be refunded.
- Why it’s funny: Time cannot actually be refunded or given back like money or goods. This sentence humorously suggests that wasted time can be "returned," which is impossible, making it a play on the idea of refunds in a store or business.
- Possible Context: It could be on a funny sign at a slow service counter, joking about how long customers had to wait.
- There was no highway attached to the booth.
- Why it’s funny: The sentence seems nonsensical because a booth, like a ticket booth or toll booth, isn’t expected to have a highway "attached" to it.
- Possible Context: It could be a joke about confusing road signs or someone misunderstanding a description of a location.
