It's a Seinfeld reference.

10th grade honors chem, talking about air pressure and stuff. teacher says something along the lines of "there was this disaster on this island off the coast of the US, does anyone know the name?" i quickly respond, "Pearl Harbor?" teacher gives me the sort of "wtf was that" look and nothing from rest of class. [/ QUOTE ] Because this isn't funny. I see where you were going, but it doesn't even make sense. Pearl Harbor is a harbour ON an island IN the US. Not an island off the coast of the US. Saying "Three mile island" would have been a lot funnier.

Re: jokes you\'ve made IRL that flopped
One time I was watching a movie about the Hindenburg disaster and when the blimp blew up I yelled, "Boy! Thats gotta hurt!" and it killed.
When I went back to do it at the afternoon showing some jerk with a laser pointer made my one liner bomb.

Re: jokes you\'ve made IRL that flopped
One of the guys I go to school with was giving a tour. Once of the parents asked him how high the pregnancy rate was on campus, he shot back, "About as high as the abortion rate." No laughter and he didn't get to give any more tours.

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.
