Airborne Differences

Okay, listen up, smoothbrain. This joke compares two famous deaths, which is already a red flag for most people, but not for Explain Bear. Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash, so he was literally 'in the air.' George Floyd died from asphyxiation, meaning he *couldn't* get air. The joke uses the phrase 'got air' to point out this grim difference between being airborne and lacking oxygen. You probably thought it was just a regular comparison, didn't you?
