I have a good friend that I work with that just has the best sense of humor, she keeps us on our toes at work most of the time and is all and all a very good hearted woman. She loves telling jokes and is always looking for more material and I always try to remember the good jokes that I hear outside of work in order to tell her on the next scheduled work day. It really sucks but I can’t remember a joke, no matter what, I probably have less than 5 jokes that are stored in my brain, and there is no more room in there what so ever.
If I do manage do remember the words to the joke, my presentation is always off and the jokes just doesn’t sound as funny as when I had heard it, that can be not only embarrassing, but intimidating at the same time. So I have learned to just sit back and give the joke the attention that it deserves and enjoy it, rather than trying to remember the lines and losing focus!
