It was going alright but this is second time today that I've seen someone take an obvious joke seriously on greentext of all places. So you can imagine that it's ruined beyond repair now
Have you ever had someone tell you a joke and the person starts laughing mid sentence? Doesn't really matter if the joke is good or bad. We have to laugh. Laugh is contagious.
I mean sometimes I've seen people doing that, in real life since you're reacting with other people. Most of the time not. Some think of it as a bit gauche. I just don't think it's a sensible requirement for saying a joke, especially when it's online.
