To Be Or Nut To Be

Listen up, buttercup. This joke is funny because it's a pun. You know Shakespeare, right? Pale, pasty dude who wrote plays? Well, he wrote Hamlet, and in it, Hamlet says, "To be, or not to be." Get it? Instead of "not to be", it's "nut to be" because the joke is about a nut. Also, you're probably a nerd.
