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!

Should have told him you carry it so you always have a clean one and don't get the shitty end.
See?
A joke has to be funny.
Dry or not.
(Also one of the rules of humor is if you have to explain it, the joke isn't funny.)
 
Pulling a stick out a gas station is "obvious"? I can honestly say I havent seen that done in 20+ years. Not sure what 3rd world you live in that its "obvious" lol
Not even remotely funny, so yeah i would have taken that as a threat and beaten yer arse with it.
Like "adriver" said if ya gotta explain it....
 
as someone who doesn't say 99% of the responses that occur to me, no matter how funny it sounds in my head, i probably would have gone with something a little less antagonistic. but if you were already propping up the hood, i see your point.
 
Used to be a sweet little hottie worked at "St Vinnys" thrift store in Post Falls. One day I asked her, "if I won the lottery, would you marry me?" She took in a real short breath and said, "DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH YOU WON!!"

I told another not too long ago, "I wish you'd marry me so at least one of us was happy." She says, "Which one do you think that would be?" I answered, "I don't care as long as it's at least one of us!!"

I asked my wife what she would do if I won the lottery
She said she'd take half and leave me...best 7.50 I ever spend
 
While I readily admit to being a sarcastic, smart ***, I don't make silly threats like that. I'd call it my "Snipe Hunting stick", which would totally confuse FABO member 71HemiX.
 
I try to keep my trap shut, cuz nobody ever finds me funny, and I usually end up hurting some dumchit's feelings, or starting a fight, or just generally making life miserable for somebody, usually me.
 
I used to have a lot more similar responses to the op's.

I'm trimming back what I have to say overall. People are a lot stiffer than they used to be.
 
What are you to expect from someone who runs into the back of an old lady while in LA in a Porsche (supposedly not on cocaine:rolleyes:) and blames it on her...:poke::poke::poke:
Just checking your sense of humor...
Without a stick...:rofl:
 
Lori and I were returning from Carlisle, stopped at a Hotel. The Lady checking us in asked what brought us to town. Said we where on the run from the police and needed a place to stay for the night. It took her a few seconds to get it but here look in the mean time was priceless.
