We all make jokes that don’t land, but sometimes we make jokes that should’ve been funny if anyone understood it.

Maybe it was too subtle, or too nuanced like a joke based off work-jargon.

Whatever it was, what joke did you say that should’ve had people in stitches but… didn’t land?

Now is your time!

    One time, I had to have IV antibiotics for a dental infection, which meant having to be at the hospital for like a half hour every four hours, which sucked. After a couple days of this, praying to get switched to tablets, a doc finally saw me.

    He walks into the room where I was waiting and the first thing he said was, “so, how about we try oral?”, and I was like, “slow down, doc, I just met you.” 😂

    Swear to god, it did mot register whatsoever that I had made a joke. He responded like I had said slow down the switch to oral medication! I guess maybe he could have just been embarrassed and was trying to duck the moment, but idk. I thought it was a solid joke.
