If you will look for the thought of the sentence it says ” I can put the can in a can but the can cannot put me inside the can”
Anyone here have any idea?

The word can in the sentence was used as a verb and a noun…thats what ThornBird had explained. ...” i will be able to put the can in a can but the can will not be able to put me in a can.”
How about this Coolest..what do you think?
