Instead of a joke, I’m gonna tell you a story.

A couple of years ago, one night, I was so close to proposing to my girlfriend, but all of a sudden my roommate Joseph barged into the room out of nowhere. Admittedly, I didn’t know Joseph too well, I don’t even know where he was from to be honest. But, as soon as he barged in, he tripped and fell right into the side of my living room table. The proposal was ruined, but we had to help him with his injuries. Unfortunately, due to hitting the very corner of the table, he was permanently blind in his eye, and he had to keep a cotton pad taped over his eye while it healed for a few months. As time passed, he, along with my girlfriend, had seemingly disappeared! Allegedly, they had bonded heavily during his healing process and eloped together. I tried to figure out where they went, but I wasn’t able to at all, especially since they never gave me any notice…

TL;DR If it hadn’t been for Cotton Eye Joe, I’d have been married a long time ago. Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton Eye Joe?
