The joke “Why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 8 (ate) 9” is a classic play on words that uses homophones for comedic effect. The joke sets up an expectation by asking why one number would be afraid of another, which in itself is an anthropomorphic and absurd premise. The punchline, “7 8 9”, sounds like “seven ate nine” when spoken aloud.
Because 7 was a well-known six offender!
Because 6 is a xenophobe
Because 7 was always odd and 6 could never even!
