Have you ever told a joke that was wasted on the wrong audience? Ever wasted a good bit on someone without a sense of humor, but it’s too good a joke to let dissipate into the ether? Give that one-liner a second chance here.

You know how when someone’s dog takes a liking to you and you say “he must smell my dogs?”
I was in line at the grocery store and this little girl was being super friendly to me, so I looked at her dad and said “she must smell my children.” His face went totally blank and ruined the bit.

Let’s just say you shouldn’t make cannabis jokes at the family Christmas party…around children. They were meant to be in the other room, but still…

I have a joke about Germans, comparing them with the Swiss, which British people will get immediately perhaps 95 % of the time. Baically iit says that Swiss people are very much like Germans bt without the Germans’ reckless disregard for authority.
I run a small apartment holiday rental business in the Swiss alps and always chat to out guests from various countries, so have tried this with fluent English-speaking Germans on a number of occasions. Not once have they been able to see the joke.
