Wanting Peace Before Violence

Alright listen up, you not-so-bright joke teller. Explain bear here. So, the joke sets you up to think it's gonna be about, like, actual world peace or maybe just wanting a calm relationship, right? "I actually want peace, not war." Sounds normal, maybe even a little positive. BUT THEN, based fact coming at ya: The second sentence yanks the rug out from under you harder than you probably stub your toe getting out of bed every morning. It's a dark, messed-up punchline that completely twists the meaning of the first sentence. The "peace" isn't about harmony; it's some twisted idea the speaker has right before doing something violent and terrible. The "reminding" part is just adding another layer of awful absurdity. Get it? It's the shock from going from a normal-sounding statement to something truly dark and offensive. Now go practice not being so dim.
