Yeah, all these Napoleons apperently can’t see past their own shortcomings. 

The thief moved to Valve after his work on grand theft: auto. No, I didn't forget capital letters. 

Yup, that's my response to my wife saying "must be free". 

Some people may not know, but seriously, most do, and these weren’t really worth telling more than once in the first place. I have directly seen enough instances where the jokes either deliberately made someone uncomfortable or came across as a faux pass that I think easing off them might not be so bad. Not ALL jokes,…

The problem is when the making of the joke is demeaning. I have certainly seen jokes made as a power play, rather than an attempt at humor. That's the stuff that's gotta stop, but it's normalized for a certain segment of society. 

In Egypt, every single shop owner will tell you “it’s free to look” so when one told me it was $5 to look we had a good laugh. That’s the mark of an actual sense of humor though.

My last name is pronounced like a not super complimentary word (not terrible, just eh) and my middle name is Isaac. At some point my credit card was printed with [First Name] Is [Last name that sounds like descriptor]. Probably only 5% of people checked how my last name was pronounced, but most of them had a good…

I think the age of lawyer jokes was a time when lawyers got paid more than (most) doctors and seemed to have an easy time finding work and turning their nest eggs into a pretty good living. I understand those days are mostly over, and that it was really only ever a fairly select group who really got those perks, but I…

Yeah, for me there is a big difference between chatting with the waiter or bartender (when things are slowish) and making a joke. One is a human interaction, the other is slightly oppressive and slightly peacocking. “Watch me tell this same stupid joke and force this person to laugh”.

Shh. Amazon doesn't want you to share its secret to success!

Wait, it’s one thing to say this (my wife does, ouch, to which I usually reply “looks priceless to me” just to try and... redirect I guess? At least it’s an honest pun) but to actually expect someone to find that funny is just sad.

Quick jokes are usually fine if they aren’t the same ones You Hear All The Time and they aren’t thinly veiled sexism/harassment. Nothing wrong with breaking the ice and having a chat if someone isn’t busy off their gourd, but also, forcing someone to stop and talk to you because you are paying them is... well it’s a…

I solved this by taking a deep interest in the weather. “I haven’t seen the radar map, but from the last few days and the shape of the clouds I am betting it’s a stationary front, see, the cumulus clouds are all rolled up over there, some cirrus clouds over that way, so yes, I'm guessing at least two days of slow…

Yeah, but the word also doesn’t mean “kill exactly half” so, you know, I’m still mad at Marvel. (Then again, given their understanding of biology, why should I let a little word choice bother me?)

Okay, but is it because of “drive trains” or because you are an engineer?

Eh, I get that one the other way too though. Eat everything on my plate, get a comment "you must have been hungry" (no shock, I came to eat) or "guess the food was good" (it was fine, I was hungry) or some variation. I have some food guilt issues so I normally just nod and mutter quietly but honestly, they don't have…

I mean, if you are Lesley Nealson, or Groucho Marx, or probably Samuel Clemons, or hell, even Ron “Tater Salad” White, you can make these jokes all day long and people will be genuinely entertained.

My cousin worked a convenience store late night and actually got some joy out of a few situations with this one.

Yeah, but if everyone was a little less abusive with their jokes, the world would be a better place. I make terrible jokes all the time, but they are usually original, not made to people who have to feign polite interest (because honestly when someone’s reaction to a terrible joke is “who farted” looks and sounds it’s…

Yeah, that's code for "f off, it's not your business" but apparently you were slow on the uptake.
