Why did the horse go behind the tree?
To change his jockeys!
Why This Joke Works
"Jockeys" are both the riders who sit atop horses AND the underwear brand. A horse going behind a tree to "change jockeys" implies switching riders — or switching underpants — and both scenarios are equally and magnificently absurd.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Look around as if checking for witnesses before delivering "jockeys" — match the horse's apparent and urgent need for privacy.
Perfect for:
- •At a horse race or equestrian event when jockeys are visible
- •At a clothing store near the underwear section when someone asks for Jockeys
- •During a hiking trip when someone needs to step behind a tree for any reason
