It is just plain silly. Nobody would ask for this.

No, I understand the joke, I just don't understand why it is funny. Why is it hilarious that you expected one thing and got another?
Expecting humor + not getting humor /= humor [at least, to me]
Actually, nevermind, asking why yall think this is funny is like asking why I think Dumb and Dumber is the greatest movie ever created. It just is. We all have different senses of humor, I guess mine just doesn't find this one funny.
