Did You Hear The One About...
I have a dry sense of humor and in conversation can be witty if “I’m on” but note to self: no more joke telling. For god’s sake, just stop! Yesterday a humorous number died a painful death as soon as it left my lips, and the drive-by expression on the recipient’s face, well, it’s a look I’ve never got used to seeing. Now that I’m closing in on the half-century mark, it’s time to throw in the towel and just accept the fact that I should never begin any conversation with the words, “Hey, did you hear the one about …”

I don't have the knack either. In my head, it works well, but once in the air....
... in the air is withers and dies fast. We should start a support group, Patti.
Haha. And as someone else with that same sense of humor, I love your jokes!! Save them up for family & like minded friends...we get you <3
I can never pull off that line though I can deliver witty one liners out of the blue and generate a few feeble laughs.
Mates, Not sure how many standard jokes I even try out on family but if I attempt again you will be in attendance. :)
Prashant, I can pull off the occasional one-liner myself.
Personally, I find myself witty and urbane. Your experience may differ. :)
HAHA!
I have learned many many decades ago to let the people who I talk to be my straight man/woman. Roughly 98% of my wit comes off from what other people say. The other 2% comes off from what other people do.
