Most of the times I swing and miss with a joke, the other person just doesn’t connect with my humor. Instead of being offended, I find they’re just confused by what just happened.

For example, I had a joke I found funny, but apperently I’m the only one who finds it funny.

See, what you do is…you go to a place that wouldn’t have mustard, like a bus stop. And you ask

Uhhhh…where’s the mustard?

And they say something that indicates they don’t know, or there isn’t any. And you say

Oh, ok. Sorry.

I find that joke hilarious. Nobody else gets it. But they aren’t offended…
