Have you ever missed an opportunity to tell a good joke?

Question

Have you ever been in a situation where you had the chance to tell a good just, but you either didn't think about it until after the situation had passed or for whatever reason didn't tell it?

When I was in college, I sat in with one of my friends on a history class he was taking on the Napoleonic Wars. That happened to be the day that the professor had some fun and put Napoleon on trial. I was assigned the role of an unnamed Italian soldier. When I was called to the witness stand and asked to state my name for the record, I SHOULD HAVE said, but sadly did not think to say...

It's-a-me, MARIO!

I didn't think of this until several years later 😬

I usually think of opportunities to make good jokes. For instance, if someone says “I’ll blow your brains out” as in theyll shoot you, you could say “I effed the brains out of your mom last night, ZINGO”

I never miss the chance to tell a joke, puns and wordplay come second nature to me, however none of them are particularly good jokes.

All the time. Mostly hold back if I assume someone is going to take it the wrong way. I crack myself up inside regardless.

I'm not very good at telling jokes. There are a lot of times I came up with great comebacks way too late though lol.

If i dont tell it, its because i feel its corny or inappropriate

Often. I’ve smurfed jokes up enough times that i don’t jump on the opportunity readily.

endlessly! I can normally think of quick one liners but can rarely squeeze a remembered joke into the flow of conversation, also doesn't help I'm a little deaf and can't tell how loudly Im talking!
