A joke about humoring the man's work --- the two women are going to pretend to be impressed/surprised when the man brings in his new invention: but the wheel is an already widely known and used, so to be polite, they need to pretend to be surprised by his ingenuity. It's funny because the man somehow didn't realize this invention was novel, and hints that sometimes people figuratively (and here, literally) reinvent the wheel.
