The Final Slope Of Your Social Dignity

The Final Slope Of Your Social Dignity

Rating of Regret: 9/10 Cringes. We are deeply concerned that you read this far, which suggests your oxygen levels might be dangerously low from all that climbing. If you actually enjoyed these, please seek professional help or at least buy a better pair of hiking boots.

Answers For The Altitude-Challenged

Is it safe to tell these jokes at high altitudes?

Only if you want everyone in your hiking group to “accidentally” leave you behind at the next switchback. Low oxygen and bad puns are a dangerous combination for social survival.

Because they have so many layers, just like your thermal underwear. Also, when people are tired from climbing, their standards for humor drop faster than a loose rock in a canyon.

What is the best way to avoid a mountain pun?

Stay in the valley. Once you cross the tree line, the puns become inevitable. It is a natural phenomenon known as “Dad-mospheric Pressure.”

Can mountains actually hear us?

Technically no, but they have “peaks” so they are always listening for the sound of a tourist losing their snacks.

How do I know if I have peaked?

If you find yourself laughing at a joke about a volcano, you have officially reached the summit of bad taste.
