"The humorous story is told gravely; the teller does his best to conceal the fact that he even dimly suspects that there is anything funny about it."
- Mark Twain
I tell my jokes straightfaced IRL. Completely deadpan; gallows humor. I get stared at a lot, but it won me my wife, so there's that. On the other hand, my coworkers leave Nick Offerman memes on my office door, so you can't have everything. (It used to be Dr. House, but the times, they are a'changin'.)
Also, and this is just me, but I rarely use emoticons, and to my best recollection, I have never once in my life typed "lol." I actually think that the emoticon and that ****ing idiotic "lol" have hand in hand crippled the joke-telling ability of an entire generation. Use your words. Get out there and make people smile and pay attention to the words that do it. Clitoris. See?
