Holiday & Seasonal Jokes Question & answer

Why don't skeletons ride roller coasters?

They don't have the stomach for it.

Behind the Groan

No Stomach for the Ride

Not having the stomach for something means lacking the nerve or tolerance to face it. A skeleton literally has no stomach, making the usual explanation for avoiding a turbulent roller coaster anatomically true. Ask the setup like the skeleton made a sensible choice at an amusement park. Pause before “stomach” and keep the answer dry so the courage idiom and missing organ land together.
