Is my sense of humour really "off"?

Just looking for some opinions.

I have a stupid sense of humour and what seems hilarious to me often seems pointless and ridiculous to others.

Anyway on Friday night my partner had had a bath and left his clothes and shoes in the bathroom.

Before we went to bed (around 1.30am) I went into the bathroom to wash etc and noticed a slug had slithered over his trousers that he had left on the floor, I found this quite funny but then decided to pick the slug up in some tissue and put it inside his shoe (just the slug itself, not the tissue). Once done I went into the living room with a straight face and said "hey, there's a slug in your shoe...I would've taken it out but I darnt touch it...".

DP said "a slug IN my shoe? don't lie" so I insisted it was true, tried so hard not to start laughing and in the end he went in to look...I heard him say "eww...and he picked the shoe up, dropped the slug into the toilet and said "goodbye" to it and I couldn't help but crease up, partly at my own joke but also at his calm reaction, I just thought it was hilarious and then when he started saying he couldn't understand how it had got into the shoe my stomach was actually hurting from laughing so much .

Anyway this morning we were talking about it and he half joked and said "I bet you put it there" and after laughing uncontrollably again I admitted I had.

Anyway, to my point...he didnt find it funny at all, he wen't really quiet and said he doesn't go around doing things to my stuff and doesnt expect me to do it to his etc...

Tonight I tried to joke about it again with him and he's adament that he doesn't find it funny and is still slightly annoyed by it and in his words "it's the other stuff you do too, it's just not funny".

I've been thinking it over and I just wanted some opinions really, was it a stupid thing to do? I only meant it as a joke but I don't want to be the irritating person that thinks she's funny but just gets on everyones nerves...

If your partner didn't "get on" with your sense of humour would you tone it down?

2000 years ago a man walks near a river where there are loads of people and one man actually in the river
he walks closer to see wats going on
the man in the river calls him over to join him
when ther man gets closer , the man in the river grabs him and pushes hims head under the water for 5 seconds

he then says to him DID YOU FIND JESUS
the man answers no
so the man dunks him again for 15 seconds
again he asks DID YOU FIND JESUS
again he replies no

i guess no one liked my joke then .............................

That joke was rubbish. Sorry.

I generally love stupid things, toilet humour and stuff. I do hate jokes that ruin my things, i.e. a slug in my shoe would piss me off. anything too pointless as well, chucking the beads, erm, why?

whoever it was who sneezes on their dp, why would you do that, it's disgusting? would you like dp to spit at you?

at least you can't complain when he gets manflu.

Some of these are funny and I must admit I did giggle at the first post although I wouldn't do practical jokes myself.

A lot of the others involving bodily functions/ fluids/ condoms etc are so disgusting, gross humour of the "American Pie" sort and I wouldn't be impressed if any of them were done on my expense.
