Listen up, buttercup. This joke points out a grim similarity: Philippe Petit walked a tightrope between the Twin Towers, and New Yorkers, well, they kinda "walked over" the memory of the Twin Towers after 9/11, if you catch my drift. And you probably don't. You are likely one of those guys who can't find his own butt with both hands and a map. I bet you still think the Earth is flat and dinosaurs are still roaming around.
