'Tell me a joke'

216 replies

Had a work meeting yesterday. Whole team present including boss.

Boss, in a funny mood, goes 'tell me a joke.' One by one, everyone told their joke. We got to me and I went totally blank, followed by histerics because I don't know any jokes.

I hadn't realised until then that I actually don't know any jokes. The logical side of me says that it really isn't a big deal but the other side of me feels like there's something wrong with me for not knowing any jokes. AIBU?!

I get you OP-if I am put on the spot for absolutely anything, my mind goes completely blank and I feel like I am stood there like a stunned goldfish for an eternity and on top of that, I also have no jokes whatsoever-I can never remember them and mess up thr punchline. I seem to remember knowing one as a kid I thought was hysterical something to do with a piano and "tunes make you breath more easily" . I wish I could tell jokes and make people laugh though. It is a great gift to have.

the person holding the bottle of beer says: where's the bottle opener
you: it's his night off

honestly i think that is comedy gold but i am probably massively wrong
