The Scared Number

Okay, listen up, you big dummy. This joke is a play on words, and it's kinda dark, just like a bear's cave. You see, the number 10 is literally 'in the middle' of the numbers 9 and 11 in a sequence. But the REAL punch is that '9 and 11' together also refer to September 11th, that super sad day in American history with the Twin Towers. So, 10 is 'scared' because it's associated with that tragic event. It's a dark pun, get it? You probably need a map to find your own butt, but hopefully, you got that one.
