Knock knock.

Not Susie.

Explanation

Experiment

The first part of the joke plays on the expectation of a typical reason for falling off a swing, then subverts it with a dark and absurd reason, implying Susie's lack of arms led to her fall. The second part twists the classic "knock knock" format with the grim punchline that Susie is not alive anymore, creating a dark humor.

You missed out 'why couldn't she get back up, because she has no legs.' And that's the reason it isn't her at the door, if she has legs she could still come to the door and headbutt it
