Why did the fireman wear red suspenders? The answer, of course, is to get to the other side. And why did the chicken cross the road? To hold his pants up. You see what I've done? I've reversed two familiar jokes, confounding your expectations, and in the process they have each been given what I like to call a "comedic transfusion," the anemic blood of one proving to be the life-saving (or should I say, ha ha, the laugh-saving) elixir of the other. I am a comedy writer, though no one has yet to pay me for my gifts. What follows is the story of my life. Why should you read it? To hold up your pants, of course!
