Do You Have a Dry Sense of Humor Like Me?
My dry sense of humor sometimes can distress those unfamiliar with my delivery style. Fueling up my pick-up truck at a local service station one morning, I brought out a large stick to hold the hood open. The attendant asked me what I was going to do with the pole. I thought it was obvious, so I just answered (with a straight face) that I was going to hit him over the head with it. I went about my business, checked the oil dipstick, and everything was satisfactory. A sibling, who was friendly with the same employee, later told me the man had taken my “threat” seriously!
