A man wrote to the editor of a small weekly newspaper, which was held in high regard, and asked a simple question, "How can I get an article into your newspaper?" The editor wrote in reply, "It all depends on the kind of article you want to get into our paper. If it is small in bulk like a hairbrush or a tea canister, for instance, spread the paper out on the floor nice and smooth, place the article exactly in the center, neatly fold the edges over it, and tie with a string.

How does the editor's reply create the effect of humor?
