A Joke

1 is peacefully sitting a bench. 2, a complete stranger, sits next to him

2: Hey, wanna hear a joke?
1: No
2: Ok, here it goes. So I was in the forest the other day
1: Yeah?
2: Yeah, and there were lots of barrels

He waits for 1 to laugh. However, 1 is not amused.

2: You know, because they're both cylindrical and made of wood?
1: I still don't get it
2: You know, I thought the trees were barrels, because they were cylindrical and made of wood. It's funny
1: Why barrels?
2: Huh?
1: Why not something like pencils. They're cylindrical and made of wood.
2: Not all pencils are made of wood
1: Not all barrels are made of wood either.
2: No man, ALL barrels are made of wood.

1 sighs. 3, another complete stranger, walks up and sits on the bench

3: Hey guys! Wanna hear a joke.
2: Yeah!
3: Ok, so I went to the forest the other day.
1: Oh God.
3: Yeah, I saw lots of pencils!

2 and 3 break into laughter

2: I love that joke!
3: I know right!
2: Its even better if you say barrels instead of pencils.
3: Oh yeah!
2 and 3: Because they're all made of wood!

They share a great laugh. 1 face palms.
