A woman asked her husband...

[LuckyCharms]

A woman asked her husband if the dress she was wearing made her look fat.

Husband says "Before I answer, do you promise not to get mad, no matter what I say"?

Wife says "I promise"

Husband says "I fucked your sister".

8. Part of what makes a good punchline is that it's unexpected

Or so a comedian I heard one time said after telling a borderline joke. The surprise of ending up somewhere you didn't see coming is a part of what makes something funny. So (again, my source on this is that comedian, but I think he was Canadian if that makes this more credible) if you don't find a joke funny, it's because somehow it's not a surprise.

Now, for the comedian, this was just an opening to suggest that people in his audience who didn't find humor in whatever questionable joke he just told, somehow already went there at least in their minds. So they were the ones who were the sickos or perverts or something.

I can't even remember the joke, it wasn't great but I got that it wasn't trying to offend for the sake of offensive. I guess this is a long way to go to get to the observation that maybe somebody who's dealt with infidelity or knows somebody who had to deal with it, wouldn't find the humor in this particular bit of misdirection.

That, and humor is idiosyncratic. Like a pitcher who gives up a homer, all you can do if some poeple don't get the joke is get back on the mound and keep slinging

9. Tough room!

I'm always amazed that some people will go out of their way to tell you that they didn't like a joke.

I LOL'd - It's got a good beat, and you can dance to it.
