New York Chess Players

Listen up, dummy! This joke is all about *wordplay*. See, in chess, a "rook" is one of the pieces, but "rook" also sounds like "took." The joke is sayin' them New Yorkers ain't good at chess 'cause they lose their rooks, like the towers that were *took* down in 9/11. It's dark, I know. Now go back to watchin' cartoons, you ain't smart enough for this.
