I hope it doesn't ruin your day to hear that chickens also don't typically cross roads.

You don’t live on Maui...

The real problem is the "joke" wasn't funny. Telling someone it went "over their head" comes off as arrogant when done for an unfunny joke.
There's a difference between someone saying the premise of the joke doesn't make sense and not finding it funny. It seems like it went over someone's head if they say "Yeah, but oil isn't sold that way" versus saying "That joke wasn't funny."
Not acknowledging the joke at all is one of the best ways of stating that it wasn't funny.
Hum... Yes they do. And they choose to do it way more often when there is a car coming towards them.
