Two men are out walking in the woods, and they each have a dog with them. They’re old friends from the big one, September 11th. They get to talking about the meaning of life and the “why’s” of so many of their friends dying. Just then the first guy’s dog starts barking and runs off into the woods. They yell after him, but he doesn’t care, just keeps running like a little doggie MANIAC off into the woods. So they shrug and keep walking.
They don’t get much further, talking about the other big one, the Oklahoma City Bombing. They start asking each other the question “Why? Why did so many good people die?” when all of a sudden the other guy’s dog runs off into the woods, and they can’t call him back. They shrug and keep walking.
Then they start to talk about that other big one, Ke$ha’s TiK ToK single, and pretty soon get to asking each other why such a stupid song would capture the public’s attention the way it did. Just then, one of the guys starts barking and runs off into the woods. The guys who’s left is flabbergasted. But after a couple minutes he hears a rustlin’ in the brush and his dog comes shuffling towards him backwards, dragging something.
As the dog gets closer, the guy can see that it’s his best friend’s head, grisly and filthy. The dog drops the head at the guy’s feet, like any good dog would do. The guy drops to his knees and starts screaming to the cold, imperturbable heavens, “Why? Why? Why?
And then the dog looks over at the guy with a coy expression and says, “I dunno, pal. It’s just a really shi**y joke.”
