A knock-knock joke has failed to land, or even get off the ground, as the autistic person on the receiving end simply pretended they hadn’t heard the door going, it has been reported.
Kit McGodden, 24, reportedly responded to the opening gambit of “knock knock” by dropping to the ground and lying flat on their face.
On a repeat attempt, eyewitnesses recall McGodden shouting “nobody’s home!”
McGodden commented: “Are they gone yet?”
They added: “Yeah I know it’s a joke, but there’s no punchline funny enough to warrant me answering an unsolicited caller.”
