Exclamation Wait what

"Why did the chicken cross the road?"

"To get to the other side"

Wiki

Quote:
"Why did the chicken cross the road?" is a common riddle or joke in several languages. The answer or punchline is: "To get to the other side". The riddle is an example of anti-humor, in that the curious setup of the joke leads the listener to expect a traditional punchline, but they are instead given a simple statement of fact. Since its inception, "Why did the chicken cross the road?" has become largely iconic as an exemplary generic joke to which most people know the answer, and has been repeated and changed numerous times.
Although it does then say "Punning variations may interpret "the other side" to refer to the afterlife", never really considered that before
