I told my friend that someone accused him of blowing dead bears. I said I defended him by responding that I saw 1 get up and walk away.
Blowing Dead Bears Defense
Categories
Explanation
Experiment
The joke plays on a misunderstanding of the phrase "blowing dead bears". It makes the listener think the friend is doing something weird with dead bears. The speaker's defense is absurd, because dead bears shouldn't get up and walk away, so they are not defending their friend but also highlighting the absurdity of the accusation.
