I'm not a fan of stairs.
They're always up to something.
Why This Joke Works
'Up to something' means sneakily plotting, but stairs are literally always 'up to' something — going up is their entire purpose. The stairs can't help being suspicious because ascending is literally their job description.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Say 'I'm not a fan of stairs' with genuine mild resentment, then nod knowingly — like you've been onto their scheme for years and you're finally saying it out loud.
Perfect for:
- •When complaining about a very long museum staircase
- •After climbing multiple flights with heavy grocery bags
- •When someone asks why you always take the elevator instead
