That's because your analytical mind goes straight to the topological considerations of the geometry... :wink:

And my second thought was that the shadows might harbor a joke, but I couldn't find one either.

When the only tool you have is a hammer, all problems look like a nail. But when the only tool you have is a spanner it appears there's a bit of wiggle room in problem solving...

At risk of further flogging that dead horse, I actually spent a few minutes thinking about the answer to this. I have read (I think in The Naked Jape by Jimmy Carr and Lucy Greeves) that most humour seems to work on a "two stories" model. So even a groaner like "what do you do if you see a spaceman? Park in it, man!" has two stories - one about meeting an alien and one about parking a car - and the humour comes from being forced to re-evaluate which story you're looking at.

The stories in that picture are "what on Earth are they doing with that spanner?!" and "ingenious solution to a problem with (presumably) limited resources". If you miss out either of those reactions it isn't funny. I saw the spanner and the padlock, but it took me a second or two to mentally shove the spanner left and right and work out that it does work, and the chuckle came then.

Jimmy Carr also commented that he'd heard analysing jokes as being like dissecting a frog: nobody's that interested and the frog dies. So I'll shut up now. 😁

I could add to that but I won't. I think you summed things up quite well.
