I saw this on the "other web" and had to share here:

A horse walks into a bar and orders a pint. The bartender says "You're in here pretty often. Do you think you might be an alcoholic?" The horse replies "I don't think I am," and then disappears from existence.

See, the joke is about Descartes' famous philosophy of "I think, therefore I am", but to explain that part before the rest of the joke would be putting Descartes before the horse.

Have you ever got an AI (eg the talk to transformer demo) to try explain jokes to you? Prompt it with a couple jokes and explanations. Then let it go and see what terrible jokes it comes up with - and the worse reasons it thinks they are funny. · 3 years ago

Jokes about Descartes' Being and Nothingness are getting weirder and weirder. I understood the one "I'd like a cup of coffee, please, with no cream.' The waitress replies, I'm sorry, Monsieur, but we're out of cream. How about with no milk?". It took me a sec, but I got it. This one, not. · 3 years ago
