Humor or Not?

Have you ever said or written something that is funny? Not just mediocre funny, I mean laugh out loud kind of humor? Like...you want to send it in to Jay Leno but you think people would treat you like a pariah when they lose money on their Eli and Lilly stock because you, single-handedly, put prozac out of business. Because the whole world is laughing FUNNY???

And so you run the words over and over in your head, as you patiently await the uncontrollable giddiness that is certain to occur as soon as your audience reaches the particular juicy morsel of hilarity.

And just when you are sure they have gotten it (dun dun dun). Nothing but Heart breaking silence. And so in your complete astonishment you begin to speak. Very quickly I might add. Sure they somehow missed the point. Explaining re-explaining. And yet the blank stare prevails, perhaps a small courtesy "yeah, yeah, I get it, It was funny already". And you just want to keep going with the explaining so they can fully understand. And then mid speed-talking sentence they awkwardly leave the room?

Has that ever happened to you??? Yeah me neither, I just wondering.
