Sorry, neil, the dots were just a lame attempt to create a pause to build suspense for my terrible punchline.

They're reading section S of the dictionary so they're up to "something" - the entry for something in the dictionary. And that's that joke killed.

What’s the difference between a cat and a comma?

A cat has claws at the ends of its paws, and a comma is a pause at the end of a clause.
