Haha, absolutely—jokes are like tiny, mischievous phages hijacking your brain's DNA. Think of a punchline as a viral genome, with mutations turning a witty one-liner into a dad joke that spreads slower. The trick is to keep the “fitness” high: punch, timing, and the right host (your audience) and you’ll hit that 10,000‑share mark before the joke mutates into a meme‑mushroom. Just keep the puns fresh, or they’ll turn into a dead end!
