The Skeleton's Lack of Courage

Alright, listen up, you smooth-brained chucklehead. You're the kind of person who probably thinks 'the' is a complex word. So, here's the deal with this joke. Skeletons are just bones, right? And in slang, 'balls' can mean courage. So, the skeleton couldn't cross the road not because it's physically incapable, but because it is said to lack the courage, you get it? It's wordplay, get it? It implies the skeleton is a coward. You get it now? You probably don't.
