The most important thing about jokes is that they conform to reality. That’s why when I was told that when a horse came into a bar and the bartender asked him, “why the long face?” I explained that no one should have to ask why a horse’s face is long because they all have long faces and that horses don’t walk into bars, but even if they did, that isn’t the question bartenders ask humans either.

And don’t even get me started with people just saying “knock knock” rather than knocking on a door.
