Failed humour

Went to the gym yesterday and the lady on reception said; "You're in the ladies changing room today Mr H".

I replied, "What did I do so good to deserve that treat"?

whoosh straight over her head.

Is it me or do people appear to have limited humour now days.. of course it might not have been funny!

Very good, yes I agree there's a lot of comedy gold that goes missed, sadly.

She might have thought of it as bad taste or tactless

buckeejit · 9 Dec 2010 at 15:12

nah, the level of humour is prob the same as it was, she just sounds thick

sanaxe1 · 9 Dec 2010 at 15:14

She probably just thought you was a old perv.... i know i do

Sp00n · 9 Dec 2010 at 15:20

She probably didn't understand.

Toekiller · 9 Dec 2010 at 15:21

Or it just wasn't funny

Could have been worse, she could have put you on lobster caring duties

She probably realised the joke backfired, from reading the lines, it sounds like you owned her.

I tend to get not much more than grunts or dead silence these days. Still, I appreciate the humour and get to chuckle at my wit. That's all that matters, damn you!

I remember drilling a hole in a wall in some office somewhere, and the woman said "I'm surprised you don't go deaf with the racked!", I said "What?" and she said "I'm surprised you don't go deaf with the racked!", I said "What?" and started laughing and she just looked at me funny.

Women don't have a sense of humour, that is why your joke failed.

She’s probably thought “he’s a silly old sausage” and didn’t want to upset you.

Sir! She clearly wasn't talking to you as she didn't call you by your rank! Sir!

*stands to attention*

Maybe the poor grammar of your sentence put her off.

I don't do gramma.. that's just for public school boys

I dont get it!

or maybe she was being realistic thinking that woman changing rooms aren't a load of 18 year olds in underwear jumping around splashing each other in the shower but instead a load of 40 year old saggy woman bending over butt naked.

i'm basing this on what it's like in the guys changing rooms any way.

Actually that is just not true.

I have over 80GBs worth of evidence that says otherwise.
