Topic: So a police officer sees a drunken man intently searching the ground near a lamppost

A police officer sees a drunken man intently searching the ground near a lamppost and asks him the goal of his quest. The inebriate replies that he is looking for his car keys, and the officer helps for a few minutes without success then he asks whether the man is certain that he dropped the keys near the lamppost.
“No,” is the reply, “I lost the keys somewhere across the street.” “Why look here?” asks the surprised and irritated officer.
Can you answer why he looked there, other than the standard being that the light is better there?

He got in a drunken wreck and the keys were thrown across the road?

The drunken man inhabits a six dimensional universe and he is looking for his keys through folded space?

No, wait! It's zen koan about the presence of mind in perfectly defining something by noticing the absence of it! It's a joke about the complimentary nature of non-existence and existence defining one another!

Okay. Last guess. The drunken man is the officer's past self and he has to help him find the keys to the DeLorean so he can go back in time to become a police officer so he'll be here to hide his own keys in the first place.

I like how the joke never addresses how a cop helps a drunk man find his car keys
