I was wondering why the frisbee kept getting bigger.

Then it hit me.

Why This Joke Works

"Then it hit me" means both a sudden realization (the "aha!" moment) and being literally hit by the frisbee — which is the reason it appeared to grow larger as it approached. The punchline resolves the mystery by being the answer.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Say "Then it hit me." with the calm clarity of sudden understanding — let the dual meaning land quietly on its own. No exclamation point needed.

Perfect for:

•At a park or beach where frisbees are actually flying
•During a backyard game day
•When telling a story with an unexpectedly physical ending
