We alighted the plane in LAX to go to the transit lounge. Later, we were delighted to resume our journey.

So seven people got the joke but it had me totally beat. I stooped to AI to spell it out for me. 

 

 

 

**The joke is based on the Google “G” logo looking like a door with the letter D representing the doorbell.

 

It shows two possible placements of the “doorbell”:

 

  • Left image: the D is inside the outline of the “door” (the G).
  • Right image: the D is outside the outline of the “door.”

The humor comes from the fact that in real life, a doorbell belongs outside the door, where a visitor can reach it. So the right-hand version is the “correct” way to draw it.

 

It’s one of those very dry, nerdy visual jokes that personifies the Google “G” as a front door. There’s no deeper meaning or wordplay—it’s just a silly observation that once you see the “G” as a doorway, you start thinking about where the doorbell should go.

 

If you didn’t laugh, you’re not alone—it’s the kind of joke that appeals mostly to people who enjoy absurd or minimalist visual humor.

I didn't get it when it was first posted, but I got it after looking at it again today.

 

Edit: I skipped past that AI "explanation". What total gibberish.

As the poster, I declare this to be the correct answer.

Drat, I was thinking more along the lines of musical notes,  D and G, and the relevant position noting the appropriate volume of that note. 

 

 

 

Or something like that..

The game Dingbats/Whatzit comes to mind.

"Create a society that values material things above all else. Strip it of industry. Raise taxes for the poor and reduce them for the rich and for corporations. Prop up failed financial institutions with public money. Ask for more tax, while vastly reducing public services. Put adverts everywhere, regardless of people's ability to afford the things they advertise. Allow the cost of food and housing to eclipse people's ability to pay for them. Light blue touch paper." — Andrew Maxwell
