Someone once explained that "to get to the other side" actually has a double meaning, with "other side" referring to being killed by a car (in addition to the obvious meaning of the other side of the road).

Dunno if that was ever the actual intention, but it instantly became my new head canon, and I think about it every time I hear the joke now.

So it actually kind of fits here.

I'm fairly certain it was the intended joke the whole time (that's how I always understood it, anyway).

I'm open to being proven wrong, but like, if I'm wrong then it's not even a joke, it's an anti-joke like "a man walked into a bar, ouch" or "a man walked into a bar, he has crippling alcoholism and it's destroying his family."
