A man brings in a unicorn. The front desk man looks at them in surprise.
Unicorns don't exist.
Why did the man bring a unicorn?
I couldn't find the three-hole punch.

A unicorn is an over-the-top replacement for a three-hole punch: its horn could be used three times to make the same three holes that the punch makes. The situation is funny not only because unicorns don't exist (especially in offices) but because its horn is such an absurd replacement for the benign three hole punch.
