Explanation

Experiment

This is a dark joke. The joke plays on a childhood saying that if you step on a crack or a line, you will cause harm to someone. It takes it to the absurd by having people actually keel over screaming when the child steps on the lines and cracks. The punchline reveals that it is not just people in the immediate area that are affected by the 'curse' but has a delayed effect. It is a morbid take on something that's normally taken lightheartedly.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

what that is not a joke that is not funny ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

You stole this from cyanide and happiness. the "Mailman" is actually the neighbor and the son steps on a crack without knowing it, and the father serves and crashes
