Flannery an I were out in the lodge this evening and I told her a joke, one of the best ones I've heard in a long time. Now I love a good joke, but more than that, I love a good joke told well. It has been a life long vice, and I pride myself somewhat in the fact that I can tell a joke.Not tonight.
I told this funny joke to her and made it whimsical and vivid. I got a blank stare.
I explained the joke and the mix up that makes it funny. I got a pained expression.
I explained the joke in detail, not in the vain hope that she would laugh at this point because once you break down a joke this far, it just isn't funny. I was simply looking for some light of recognition.
She finally broke into a soft chuckle and shook her head, "I just don't get it!"
Maybe I told it wrong.
Take a minute and tell me this isn't funny.
I do a good Irish priest voice too!
Doc
It was funny. But I'm a guy.
ReplyDeleteNow that is outstanding!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it is a dude thing. I chuckled.
ReplyDeleteI knocked my beer bottle over laughing. Yeah, its a guy thing.
ReplyDeleteI'm still smiling, a whole minute after I heard it. It's kind of goofy, but it is definitely funny.
ReplyDeleteOh no. I don't get it.
ReplyDeleteOh no...That was funny! And the old jew telling the joke does help.
