Funny Guy

I am not weird. My joke skills are just lacking.

When we first jumped states in 5th grade, I made some of my first friends. They thought I was funny but I didn't know if it was because


a) I was actually funny

b)My reaction when a girl bent down in front of me was funny(I am a goody two shoes)

c) My accent made everything I said funny



I think it was all three , but everyone was a "class clown" back then.


After elementary school though,I realized knock knock jokes can't be used to get laughs anymore. This is where my dilema came in. I couldn't do an Indian stereotypical accent with the speech impedement I had. Whenever I tried to stray out of my usual comfort zone of jokes into new ones, I didn't get alot of laughs(even though they seemed to work well when talkshow hosts used them on TV).


I then tried the light perverted jokes, but those didn't work People thought I was creepy so I never sunk that low again. I also brought these jokes to a halt after a classmate of mine whipped his reproduction body part out after I made a joke questioning it. Bad experience.And once is enough



I decided just to stick with my smart jokes, as in telling my teacher about how much he resembles Jafar from Aladdin.
