Sure, but virtually anything else is better than spoiling the joke.

Title: "To get to the other side!"

Body: "Why did the chicken cross the road?* To get to the other side!"

*At this point, the reader know what's coming, and the element of surprise, which is most of the time important for a joke to work, is lost.

These are all better titles for almost any occasion. Do they suck? Sure. But better than the punchline in the title:

"Well, when you put it like that" "This is a title" "Something to think about" "LOL!" "This is gold!" "I can't think of a good title" "Haha unexpected!" "๐Ÿ’ฉ"
