    Posts like this always make me wonder how many people are telling stories of deadpan jokes I made in their presence, that they didn’t realize were jokes.

      Just yesterday I asked some guy where he was from, he said

      “Between South Africa and England”

      I said

      “That was a long birth”

      He looked at me as if I eat marbles and walked away.

      I’m pretty sure some girls I only met once at the end of high school think I took performance enhancing drugs to pass so easily. I was interrupted after I made the joke, so I never got the chance to explain to their shocked expressions.
