I'm somewhat in agreement with you on that.

BUT:

I want a joke to shock the hell out of you and move you away from your comfortable niche where you knit stockings all day long in front of a lazy calico.

I'm not after a "feel-good" joke: Leave that to Grandma and Grandpa. I want to touch that corpse and shove it forward into that raging night. Or, better yet - much better, in fact: get that corpse animated, whether it be feline or human, and have those dead limbs dance a crazy Cumbian tune on a windy night when the wind blows dementedly down dark alleys to touch the hidden parts of the human psyche.

Or give me a lollipop - a blood-red one, please.
