the meaning of the joke
There was a list of examples of funny and wrong sentences in English.
Like "All of you stand in a straight circle" or "Will you hang the calendar or else I will hang myself".
The one that I don't get is "The principal is revolving in the corridor". I can't understand what is the meaning and what is funny about it. Could you explain this to me?

I guess it is not a typical joke and it just a game with words and sentences. In this cases the resulted sentences describe nonsense/impossible events. Your sentence is the mixture of:
The principal is rotating outside
The principal has just passed away in the corridor

I don't get it either. I believe that "The principal is revolving in the corridor" is supposed to be a funny mistake for a sensible sentence. However, it is not obvious what the sensible sentence is. All I can think is something like "The principal is doing the rounds", but it's pretty feeble. It may be that the joke was invented by someone whose English is imperfect, so the joke misses the mark.
