A matchbox is an object, but the question presents the phrase "match box" as two words, where "box" is a verb, meaning to compete in boxing. And then the punchline is treated the same way, where the tin can is an object, but the "tin can" refers to a tin being capable of competing at boxing. I... don't think there's anything to "get" about why they chose the can, other than just that it works grammatically. Like, I dunno if tins have an additional association to boxing or matches. --- There's a difference between canon and not-stupid. <cite>RetuenOfDevsman posted [p:980083816] in Holy shit ...
