“What does a cloud with an itchy rash do?”/“Find the nearest skyscraper.”

Skyscrapers don’t actually reach the clouds, but they are still very tall buildings. A riddle has been printed on an image:

Q: What does a cloud with an itchy rash do?
A: Find the nearest skyscraper.

The joke was posted on Twitter on December 26, 2015, and on Reddit—Jokes on April 10, 2016.
