I'm going to go out on a limb and say that two people fucking on top of a caterpillar is going to kill it. Did it actually survive, or is the finale just for dramatic effect?

I'm pretty sure it perished. Pretending it lived through the ordeal makes for a much more interesting story. Wouldn't you agree?

Punchline:

The story is told of a caterpillar's point of view.

HTW will a caterpillar carry a camera the next time he is in the woods??? 😕

Indeed. For that matter, how would a caterpillar make a post on an internet forum while logged in with my account???

Maybe the punchline is a little subtle? At least a couple of people get it.

Yes, I had no idea WTH it meant the first time I read it.
Also, did the caterpillar really scream?

Yes. It was blood-curdling.

yeah, was wondering this myself. especially since Ned felt the need to dropkick the sumbitch. must have been one big-ass caterpillar....
 
It's not that the joke is too subtle, you just personified the caterpillar way too much. Your first sentence works, because caterpillars do have neighbours. However, it's a stretch for most to imagine caterpillars think much of property rights, since most of them crawl around at random anyways.

I realize just now that I'd given this forum post too much critical analysis, so without further ado I will get back to writing software. Goodbye!

That's an interesting choice of words you have there.
