Like much good humor, this joke is a bit off-color and not entirely accurate. Everyone knows that while science has proved bugs have butts, no one has proved that bugs have much of a mind. Since bugs never look both ways crossing a highway, chances are that they don’t.
I find this particular joke funny even though it represents one of my greatest personal aggravations: summertime bug goo on my truck’s windshield.
On Saturday, I went for a drive. I was motoring along when a bug about the size of a small watermelon slammed into my windshield.
