Here's my tale: A dumpster has been brought to the building I live in so tenants can throw out large items. I rolled up an area rug that has really seen better days and carted it off to the dumpster. As I slumped along with a rug nearly as tall as myself, I met the building manager and in the cutest of kitten delivered the following lines ... "I'm taking the rug for a walk. It doesn't get out much. Just lies around all the time" Didn't get a smile, laugh, chuckle, nothing except a puzzled look. I was laughing hysterically. Come on, that was pretty funny don't you think?
Would anyone else like to share 'bombed joke' tales ?
LOL yes that was funny, the building manager needs a clue.
I have a similar joke that left the listener puzzled.
On the way to work one day I ran out of gas, there was a gas station a block away so I got out and started pushing. Half way down the block a guy on the sidewalk says "did you run out of gas?". I said "no I like to walk to work, but it might rain later so I'm bringing the car to ride home"
He just looked at me, with a confused expression, and said "oh".
If I'm only getting one or two things at the bookstore, they ask if I want a bag and my response is always "No thanks, I'll eat it here." That usually baffles them :)
There's a huge campaign going on around here that has all the grocery stores charging for plastic bags at the check out. Next time I'm asked at the check out, if I'd like to buy a bag I'm going to say "No thanks. I'll eat it here".

LoL hahaha love this one
the rug one is cute, I imagine it as being dopey and lazy with a deep voice that goes *awrr*
The one I pull at work all the time is when people ask me if we test the games at my job, I usually reply we tried but they don't hold pencils too well.

Apparently the woman at Border's the other day has heard me say this before, because she looked at the two books and the magazine I purchased and said "high fiber and a little roughage...that should clean you out. Enjoy!"
Master does that. Even if something I say makes someone else laugh, he usually doesn't or says "wow... that was really stupid." and makes me feel bad about opening my mouth :<
Masters without a sense of humor have no reason to own a kitty/girl or kitty/boy. None. The whole point of having a kitty around is to enjoy them and be amused by them and, desperately, hopelessly, try to train them.
And of course to spank 'em!
Kitties are way too much fun and valuable to hang around an old sourpuss Master
Master should give a funny cute kitten a great big hug and laugh along with kitten. Master should be understanding and be able to laugh at life. But hey, everyone's different and sees the world in different ways. Myself, I just enjoy laughing - at myself - at crazy things going on around me.
