Hey! At least it wasn’t a bishop or pawn asking. Our rook friend there will get there eventually, at least as long as there’s no one in the way.

What’s the joke? That knights move awkwardly?

The joke is basically that the rook could reach the destination in 2 moves instead of tracing the knight's moves (which would take 6 turns).
