I thought I would through that in

Question

Hi.Would you please help me in understanding the "I thought I would through that in for the FUN of it" in following paragraph ?"Would we really be saving traffic on the roads or just redistributing it, for instance if more people work from home that means more delivery trucks doing inefficient deliveries to individual houses. Pizza, Joe's Italian Deli, Fed Ex, UPS, special messengers and the Geek Squad to fix their computers. I know they use Volkswagons, but I thought I would through that in for the FUN of it'Regards.

Hi,

Would you please help me in understanding the "I thought I would through that in for
the FUN of it" in following paragraph ?

"Would we really be saving traffic on the roads or just redistributing it, for instance if more
people work from home that means more delivery trucks doing inefficient deliveries to
individual houses. Pizza, Joe's Italian Deli, Fed Ex, UPS, special messengers and the Geek Squad
to fix their computers. I know they use Volkswagons, but I thought I would ~~through~~ throw that in for
the FUN of it'

I thought I would

throw that in casually include that . ('that' refers to the reference to the Geek Squad)

for the FUN of it just because it is amusing

The general idea is that it's amusing to mention the Geek Squad and their Volkswagens, but they do not really contribute very much to the traffic problems being discussed.
