Default Re: jokes you\'ve made IRL that flopped

When I was living in Boston years ago a tour bus driver was fired for making a joke that bombed.

The bus was was passing by MIT and gathered on the sidewalk was a bunch of Asian students talking between classes. Apparently the bus driver dead panned, "And if you turn your attention to the left you can see the Massachussets Institute of Taiwan."

It was one of those things where everyone laughed privately and pretended to be shocked at such an insensitive remark.
