Why Does Every Joke Sound Like Chicken
High School | Learning
| December 15, 2013
(My classmates are taking it in turns to tell jokes to the class. One of my classmates stands up.)
Classmate #1: “Knock-knock!”
Class: “Who’s there?”
Classmate #1: “Pinecone!”
Class: “Pinecone who—”
Classmate #1: “Chicken!”
(The class erupts into laughter, then stops as they realise that they don’t understand the joke.)
Classmate #2: “Wait… what? I don’t get it!”
Classmate #3: “That doesn’t make any sense!”
Classmate #1: “Well, I didn’t have a joke. But people just laugh when I say ‘chicken’!”
