A Scotsman is visiting America and decides to go hunting. While in the woods a huge beast runs by and the Scotsman shoots, but misses. 'What was that!' yelled the Scot. 'It was a moose' replied his guide, to which the Scotsman replied: If that was a moose, I don't want to see what your rots look like!
The joke is originally from Issac Asimov (he has a really great joke book) so blame him for the accent!
This might be a misdirection joke. You hear the zodiac signs, and you think the last answer has to be something zodiac-related too. It's not, but it also isn't a joke, so the audience trips on its own expectations. If this were in a good joke book I might call it an Anticlimax. In this circumstance I think that might be giving the setup a bit too much credit.
I had Isaac Asimovs joke book when I was a kid.
