Re: jokes you\'ve made IRL that flopped

For a lifelong class clown like myself, I am not sure I can even grasp how many of my jokes have bombed.
I do stand up, and some of it is intentionally very corny and I like to tell it at drunken parties. Usually the following joke gets a few laughs, but in a class of mine the other day where upon hearing I am a jokester it was requested I make a joke, it got nothing:
"When I was a kid I went out to Missouri, visiting my great grandparents. When I was there I saw a caterpillar museum, which seemed really crazy to me. I actually liked it a lot though, and I tried to go back a few years later, but it had turned into a butterfly museum."
Class of about 20 mostly just looked away, and one said "you seriously do stand up?"
