Once in a decade joke
I don't get it
2020 one/won
I think COVID was the real winner:-P.
So bad! Lol
Could you stop putting the punchline in the title?
Why do people care exactly? When you tell a joke in person, do you take your audience into another room to deliver the punchline?
The joke feels more special when I'm waiting to expand the post and guessing what the punch line will be
I usually get it wrong, though that makes it funnier and more surprising
It helps with the pacing when they're separated. When it's all in the title, it reads like a 5 year old telling a joke and not realizing there needs to be some natural pauses in the telling. Putting the punchline in the body ensures the reader puts the pause in the correct spot.
It's two sentences man. How could you possibly not pause in the correct spot.
theres no way to know where the punchline starts, meaning theres no way to know where the pause should be.
There is a way to know where the punchline starts. It's after the question. The trick is to read the first sentence before the second sentence. That way you don't get spoiled before you read the setup.
Yup
This pun doesn't work in my accent.
Because you pronounce "one" differently than "won"? Or why?
Yeah, "one" rhymes with "gone" for me.
