a less funny "explanation":
"Sometimes, when the plug or cable is broken (and it could happen when the plug is half plugged) the headphones loses the "common" or "earth" contact, so, the circuit completes through the "live" wires of both channels. the effect is that the sounds that have the same phase in both channels is canceled and only remain what's different (stereo FX mostly: reverbs, delays, chorus, etc.)"
found on some forum, thanks to the original poster.
