Why do people care exactly? When you tell a joke in person, do you take your audience into another room to deliver the punchline?
It helps with the pacing when they're separated. When it's all in the title, it reads like a 5 year old telling a joke and not realizing there needs to be some natural pauses in the telling. Putting the punchline in the body ensures the reader puts the pause in the correct spot.
It's two sentences man. How could you possibly not pause in the correct spot.
Yup
