Not as funny as I thought...

Driving around today, I spotted a license plate like this:


The driver was going about 12 mph BELOW the speed limit. After a block or so, I said "If she doesn't speed up, I'm goin' Dew-cho-ca!" My friend didn't really laugh, so I used it another way about 10 seconds later... "Boy! If she goes any slower, someone might come out dew-cho-ca.... (still no laugh)... Get it? Like 'to-choke-her'?" And she just half-laughed and said, "I got it the first time you said it."

It was then that I realized that I am much, much funnier in my own head than I am in the real world. Oh well. I had a good laugh.

So I says, "No, but that's a nice ski mask!" (insert roaring laughter)

Best thing to do when you get no laughter is have a backup phrase. Like "true story." or "woozle wazzle."

I feel your pain.

Well, if its any consolation, i think the lack of funny in your jokes is in itself funny.

woozle wazzle.

Not only would I have laughed at the time, I'm laughing right now (and a real laugh, not the half-suppressed Jon Stewart giggle laugh...)
