What do you call a snowman in summer?
A puddle!
Why This Joke Works
Snowmen melt — it's just physics — so a snowman in summer isn't a snowman at all. It's just the puddle left behind. The joke skips straight to the inevitable fate without any sentimentality, treating the snowman's entire summer experience as a single word of tragic conclusion.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Say "a puddle!" with a sad little sigh, as if you're genuinely mourning the snowman's summer fate — then immediately crack a grin to show it's okay.
Perfect for:
- •In the height of summer when winter feels impossibly far away
- •Right after a backyard snowman melts in early spring
- •During a science lesson about states of matter and what happens when things melt
