Has someone ever told you a joke and you didn't get it but laughed anyway? And then worried straight away that the person telling the joke and others who "got it" just know you are faking it? Maybe it's time to work out how to get this down pat. Here are some thoughts.
Steps:
- Don't laugh too loudly because people will give you strange looks. Especially if nobody really thought it was "that" funny.
- Don't laugh for too long because people will think you are hamming it up and will guess you are faking.
- Try and find out what is so funny about the joke, think about it but again not for too long.
- Don't ask questions like, "wait, so the chicken crossed the road why again?" That spoils the effect and bothers everyone. Ask later from someone you can trust to tell you.
- Never try to tell a joke you don't get to another person. It won't work, especially if they ask you why it is funny.
Tips:
- If someone starts telling you a joke that you know you won't understand, excuse yourself politely saying that something urgent has just cropped up, or you've just seen someone you haven't caught up with for ages.
