So I have always gotten jokes. A friend told me his favorite and i just don't understand it. I did a web search and found variants but no explanation why it's funny or what it means. Can you help? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Cars have windows. Houses have windows. So it can't be windows that makes the car go.

I swear I don't understand, and he tried to explain it to me. He said it's a double meaning with Windows the operating system but I just don't don't don't get it.

Can anyone make this understandable to me? I may have screwed up the retelling, because honestly I have no idea what the hell's going on with this joke.

The poster commenting on mobile homes forgets that he’s not saying that all houses can’t move, just that if any houses can’t move, the windows must not be a factor

Diogenes would have fucked that dude up

All houses can move.

Some only once.
