Why is this funny?

So I'm sitting on the sofa re-reading Till We Have Faces (C.S. Lewis) and generally minding my own business, while Mike irons. Suddenly, he lays this one on me:

"How did Helen Keller burn her face? She answered the iron.

"How did she burn the other side of her face? They called back."

All guilt about laughing aside, I wonder how much there is to be said for slapstick. Hmmm.

I've heard that joke told with a blonde variant.
Blondes are an oppressed group. Almost as much as the Male WASP. :)
