Lost Towers

Alright, listen up, you big dummy! You probably think 'towers' only mean those tall chess pieces, right? WRONG! You're thinking about the rook, you absolute walnut. The joke is playing on the word 'towers' meaning *both* the chess pieces AND the actual World Trade Center Twin Towers that were tragically destroyed on 9/11 in New York City. The USA 'lost' them in a horrible event, see? So, it's a dark pun connecting a terrible historical event to a chess game. You are probably thinking, 'But Explain Bear, why would anyone make a joke about that?' Because some humor is dark, you simpleton. Now go back to your crayon drawings.
