How is there any difference to begin with? There is no joke without a small explanation.

Is definitely a pun and doesnt really need an explanation to work.

It plays off of Monument, being a sculpture made of someone usually historical and that someone making a statue of you is a big deal as a second definition of the word.

OK I guess but that's not the definition that I know: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/monumental

Ok. I'm sorry you struggled with the pun.

But hey just realized I taught you a new definition of the word then.
Yay puns!
