It is a little joke, very little. There is an expression "to kill time", which means to do something unimportant while you are waiting for something else. The expression is invariable, as are all such expressions; you can't be said

Maybe it can suggest that the person is killing time doing something really really useless, or something like that, can't it? And it sounds like a nice pun to me.....

Yes, I think it must be something like that. It isn't clear to me, either.
