Whoever established the high road, and how high it should be, should be fired.

The line is a comic inversion of the moral cliché “take the high road” (or “take the high road / be the bigger person”). By treating the “high road” as a literal piece of infrastructure with an absurdly steep grade, the speaker vents frustration at being expected to remain gracious, restrained, or forgiving—especially when doing so feels difficult or unfair. The punchline (“should be fired”) turns ethical exhortation into workplace accountability, implying that the standard of constant moral elevation is impractical and imposed by someone who doesn’t have to live with its consequences. It reads as a humorous permission slip to acknowledge anger and fatigue with performative virtue.
