2. Many People Tell Me I'm Hilarious
It seems like they're always laughing. I like that I seem to have a way of making people feel better.:)


P.S. Which is good, because I feel like shit now.

3. In person
since it's easier (and faster) to rebound with "snappy answers to stupid questions" ;)

Online, you never seem to be right there when the fun starts, so you miss the good lines...

15. Yeah, but you do have time to edit online.
And to think of snappy comebacks without looking blank for a few minutes while working on it. :)

25. Okay, we'll compromise:
Online chat.

You can take your time, but you can't edit :P

6. People are too awed by my amazing good looks to "get" all my jokes...
It's a curse...really.

9. In person
Delivery and timing do not come off in writing. Plus I use more hand gestures than a someone who is on fire and in the middle of a swarm of bees.

12. I'm not sure how I can judge that about myself.
Edited on Mon Sep-21-09 09:15 PM by Forkboy
You'd have to ask people who know me in both settings. I make a ton of jokes everywhere, but how funny they are is up for debate. :)

13. GD or the Lounge?
Because I can't say anything funny in GD without half the posters taking it seriously and calling me mean names. :(

18. Inflection drives 90% of the comedic tone.
I'm sure even a funeral could be made funny, given the right inflection...
