Why does Capulet think the following exchange is so funny?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capulet. Make haste, make haste. Sirrah, fetch drier logs:
Call Peter, he will show thee where they are.

Sec. Serv. I have a head, sir, that will find out logs,
And never trouble Peter for the matter.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.He knows that Peter is not that smart.

B.The servant is calling himself a loggerhead.

C.Right after this exchange, the servant trips over a log.

D.He knows that the servant has no idea where the logs are.

I'm pretty sure the answer is D.

This is from Romeo and Juliet right? I read the story a few years ago when I was in my Freshman year of High School so I remember a little bit of it :)
