In reply to the discussion: Things in GD getting heavy, somebody please tell me a joke, post something funny... Please. [View all]Heddi
(18,312 posts)19. Been there. The first time I experienced real Joke Shame
I was maybe 7 or 8 and was telling my god-parents this god awful joke I had heard earlier and it just cracked me up.
And it was a fat joke, and had a mean punchline
both of my god parents were incredibly obese.
As I was reaching the punchline I realized that I was going to say something that would really hurt their feelings, and I choked, didn' tknow what to say, so I made something up that just didn't go and the joke went flat
but I was so embarassed by what I was about to say, and how it would hurt them.
All these years later, I don't remember the joke, I just remember the punchline ended with "you stupid fat slob"....
stupid joke is more like it

Thankyou. At least I know I'm not the only one who was caught in that predicament.
