Sponges
Can you imagine how much deeper the ocean would be if it weren't for sponges Same word, two meanings literal sponges (marine animals) Sea sponges are aquatic filter-feeding animals that live on the ocean floor. figurative sponges (absorbent objects) Sponges are porous objects that absorb water and other liquids. The joke pivots on 'sponges' as both literal sea creatures and as water-absorbing objects, leading to the absurd notion that sponges prevent the ocean from being deeper by absorbing water. ?
