'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?!

My go-to joke for situations like this is “what did the number 0 say to the number 8? [fashiony voice] Great belt, darling”

Simple, works on all ages and won’t offend anyone.
