Taking it too Far
The old “chicken who crossed the road” joke. This one has been amusing people for decades, and as time goes on, it transforms and matures with age, yet it never grows stale. This poor chicken has had more experiences than most of us will ever have. It’s still as corny as the first time we heard it, regardless of how many times we’ve heard it before.
The truth is that many people never experience a best friend. On the other hand, a true best friend would have continued the joke as this individual did. The second half was required if the other person was still in the dark after half of the conversation. Making it public for everyone to see… Perhaps that portion wasn’t necessary.
