I don't know how many Kiwis here have young kids (other than
@The Dude &
@Satan , if memory serves), but if you've been around them long enough, chances are you've probably heard them attempt to tell a joke. They'll either parrot simple ones they've heard ("orange you glad I didn't say banana?") or try to make one of their own. The pattern I've noticed is that young children---generally between 4-6---will usually just default to the formula "why did x? Because y!" Of course, as they're too young to understand the concept of humor, you get nonsensical stuff like, "why did the Mommy cross the road? Because her arms were made of spaghetti!" Using little kid logic, the joke is a joke because it follows the formula, therefore it's funny because it's a joke & jokes are funny.
That is what I think of whenever I read one of Hayden Black's tweets.
