This is a question Lead Balloon

Have you tried to be funny and failed horribly? Yeah, join the club. Or have you witnessed someone crash and burn by either being plain unfunny or offensively unfunny? Tell us your stories of sense of humour failure

Thanks to the charmingly named Reginald Donkeyfuck (not related to the Cheshire branch of the Donkeyfuck family, one presumes)

Not me, fortunately.
I worked for a small firm (fifteen or so people) back in the 80s. As with most offices, we had a couple of outgoing types and a number of absolute social misfits.

One of the outgoing and overall really nice guys was Rob, who headed up one of the sections of the business and was tied for second in command with Mike, my supervisor, who was one of the misfits.

Jim, who worked in the field most of the time, was another affable guy, always ready with a joke. He and Rob got on very well, so one day he starts telling Rob the joke about the guy in the car crash who wakes up to find that he has a voice-operated bionic arm. The joke tells how the doctor demonstrates the arm to him and recommends that he practice with it, then leaves. The guy then goes to the bathroom for a piss, then has the urge for a wank. The punch line is the guy saying "Jerk it off", followed by a ripping sound and the guy doubled over. It's a very visual joke.

Jim hits the punch line and acts it out, then screams "Aaagh! Fuck me!" and mimes jamming something in his ass. "Goddammit! Cocksucker!" and mimes ramming something down his throat.

Too late, Jim remembers that Rob is a hardcore born-again Christian and sees the look of thunder on Rob's face. "Okayseeyoutomorrowbye" and he takes off so fast he leaves a vapor trail.

I hid behind a filing cabinet choking off the worst case of the giggles I've had...

Religious fundamentalists are offensively unfunny, it's true.

You're a fundamentalist, then? I wouldn't have thought that the "funda" part applied.

As a mildly pleasing coincidence, what with his sig and all, the area of the chin is known anatomically as the mental region.

Ah, that explains it. Chin up, Brayndedd- that is, if you can lift that much.

This is dreadful and unfounded bullying.

But also a mildly pleasing coincidence, right?

It does explain an awful lot.

Those Born Again Christians
and their notorious lack of sense of humor.

Yes, I've already said that, as you'd know if you weren't the kind of spastic to put people on 2.0 on your fake account that you created to circumvent the stepping you got for being an attention seeking dreary mental fuck.

Say how you feel BD,
don't hold back, let it all out.

Logging in and out, seeing that he agrees with you, and then slagging him off anyway,
certainly makes you the bigger man, here.
