What do you call a fly with no wings?
A walk!
Why This Joke Works
A "fly" is named after what it does — it flies. Remove the wings and it can't fly anymore, so it just walks. Therefore it's a "walk." The joke applies perfectly logical renaming to an insect: if you define an animal by its mode of transportation, change the mode and you change the name. Simple but airtight.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Perfect for:
- •When a fly is buzzing around the house and driving everyone crazy
