DUer asks: "What next, dead babies and pitchforks?"
Sure, why not, I say.

But I'm still trying to figure out how the two are related.

Can you help?

3. You never heard the old joke?
Q: How do you unload a truckload of dead babies?
A: Pitchfork

DB jokes were real big when I was in Jr High (late 60s, early 70s)

4. in the late 70s/early 80s
there was a fad for "dead baby" jokes that often ended in a punchline which involved using pitchforks to toss around the dead babies in question. Is this what you're referring to?

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
--John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72

What's the difference between a dead baby and a felt tip marker?

You don't get second looks when you're writing with a felt tip marker!
