A father of five puts on a gas mask and a hazard suit and walks outside, but before he could make it, his son came and asked, "Dad, what are you wearing?"
The father answered with, "A costume for Halloween."
The child asked, "Can I join?" He said no, for he said it's their last Halloween. After that, I saw green smoke all over the same house they lived in.
Listen up, buttercup. This joke is about a dad who dresses up in a gas mask and hazard suit, tells his kid it's a Halloween costume, but then reveals it's their last Halloween ever because of the green smoke. The green smoke is a sign of impending doom. Basically, they're all gonna die. You probably think that Halloween is about candy and costumes but it's also about recognizing our mortality. That's why you see all of the skeletons out there. That, and because people are dying all of the time due to climate change, famine, war, and TikTok challenges gone wrong.
