We all make jokes that don’t land, but sometimes we make jokes that should’ve been funny if anyone understood it.
Maybe it was too subtle, or too nuanced like a joke based off work-jargon.
Whatever it was, what joke did you say that should’ve had people in stitches but… didn’t land?
Now is your time!
I live nearish to a military base so a lot of local businesses have a military/veteran discount.
At the store I buy dog food at, the staff are so tired of asking about it that they have shortened “are you a member of the military?” to “any military?”
After I noticed it a few times that every single employee in the store shortened it that way, I started answering “there is one, but I’m not in it.”
Loooots of blank stares. I stopped since apparently nobody gets it or they don’t think it’s funny. I think it’s the former but idk 🤷
I make 3d models for 3d printing. Usually cute shit.
I made these little “snow baby” decorations. And I took a photo of them.
One is holding a brick that says “to ices” on it. The other is holding a Molotov cocktail. Literally no one. Not a single one of my friends who knows I would 100% pull this, has noticed.Not a single one.
I posted it twice just to try to get people to look at it again .
Here you are.
It’s not very funny if I have to tell people, you know?
Working in the OR. Anesthesiologist draws up some fentanyl, and I asked him if it was enriched. He looked at me like I’m a dumbass and asked “with what?”
-_-
At one of the no kings rallies, I feel something hit me in the back. Turn around to see a small girl running over to get the large Styrofoam sign that the wind had blown out of her hands.
She looks up saying “I’m sorry!”.
“It’s ok, I’m not a space shuttle, I can survive being hit by a foam block”.
Crickets.
Short version was getting a remote control vibrator for my dog but that’s only because the fancy corection collars with them built in are so expensive
