Why did the chicken cross the road?

Godammit.

It's not a joke that you need to get, it's a joke about the answer being the most obvious answer instead of something witty like a normal joke.

OP is troll.

That's -supposed- to be the first joke on history, and supposedly Cleopathra said it.

Holy crap I just got it too.

"To cross, or not to cross, that is the question"

-William Shakespeare.

I still don't get it even though my little brother tells those sort of jokes all the time.

... suddenly the world of jokes seems much more cryptic.

To get out of Kentucky, of course.

Of course we have here a case of people saying they get it when there is nothing to get just to make people crack their skulls trying to get it.

Well that's deep.

That's pretty cynical.

Holy crap I just got it too.
