one of the current things popping up over and over again that people are saying which just isn’t true (like the whole “blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb” thing) is that the why did the chicken cross the road joke is a dark joke about it dying - going to the “other side”. and people are saying they’ve just now realised this
and it annoys me no end because clearly no one understands the original joke. It’s an anti-joke, you’re expecting it to be a pun or a play on words and it’s just. The literal answer. It’s not funny now because it’s been repeated so often, but that’s the idea behind it
Also “to get to the other side” is the answer to why the ghost crossed the cemetery. If you were wondering
