They didn’t have enough guts to go.
Because he had nobody to go with.
The joke “Why didn’t the skeleton go to the dance? Because he had nobody to go with” is a play on words that hinges on the double meaning of “nobody.” In one interpretation, “nobody” means “no person” or “no one.” In the context of the joke, this would imply that the skeleton didn’t have a partner or friend to accompany him to the dance. However, the humor arises from the second interpretation, where “nobody” can be split into “no body.” Skeletons are, by definition, bones without flesh, so they literally have “no body.”
