When jokes backfire...

[jimo746]

Have you ever told a joke only for it to be met with blank faces or even the dreaded tumbleweed? or worse? :shock:

today a delivery man knocked at the door and asked to leave a parcel for a neighbour, when I looked at the parcel it was addressed to Sarah Connor
thought I'd be helpful and take it over to them when they returned home.
Knocked on the door and a young lady answered and I asked " Are you Sarah Connor?" in my best Arnie accent... she obviously didn't get it, in fact she looked a bit scared and called her husband to the door, he took the parcel and I left wondering what had gone so wrong?

she was probably too young to get it, still that's funny and i got it so don't feel too bad

No body really get my humour ask any body on here that knows or has meet me perks of a high IQ and being slightly off balance 24/7

Yeah try meeting me!

Im funny (in my head)!

Great joke though, pat on the back for quick thinking!

Probably just thought you were some odd bloke with a weird voice.

She called John out to see you off...

Ha ha! Classic. That's too good an opportunity to pass up. I would do that.

On Thursday I was walking around in ASDA with my 2yr old sons stuffed toy crocodile balanced on my shoulder saying in a mocking mimicry, 'pieces of eight...' Needless to say, the rest of the family disowned me..they are used to me. Poor souls.

I don't mind brightening up someones day at my own expense!

She called John out to see you off...

oh my god! :shock: you know I think she might just have called him "John"

That's pretty funny. Think I'll keep it to myself this time though

i'd of done the same

i done something like that myself a few years ago.........

i was digging holes on a site for fence posts , it was a hot day and my back was getting a bit sore . one of the site managers walked passed and made a rude gesture about me bending over so i said "i don't know how gay people can bend over for fun , 2 minutes and my backs killing me"

turns out he was gay and tried to have me put off site so i just put it down to sexual harassment and managed to stay on site some folk just can't take a joke
