What the joke & structure? What’s the setup? What’s the punchline? Asking legitimately so I can hear your comedic take.
The punchline was about how religion and prostitution are two of the oldest professions known to humanity only superseded by being a farmer.
I guess you haven’t learned the unwritten rule on the three things you don’t talk about in the workplace: sex, religion, and politics.
You got sex and religion in there, did you also try to work something in there about politics too?
This is so american, people should talk about politics
I called religion a profession/business. I think that covers it.
This is unwise. Best case is people don't laugh at a lame variation of a very old joke, worst case is you lose your job for expressing intolerance of people's religion and/or for being demeaning towards women. Middle case is you get a lecture by HR.
Unless your workplace is a comedy club, maybe stick to dad jokes. You're being paid to work, not be an edgy comedian. And your co-workers are most certainly not being paid to laugh at your jokes.
If your workplace was a comedy club, the audience is still not being paid to laugh at your jokes and a big part of your job would be to read the room.
What’s your setup? I do joke writing as a hobby.
Oh cool! Show us! Can you write joke about Amelia Earhart? No coconut crabs, that's too easy.
I could have sworn I had one, alas it's nowhere to be found.
Like God when someone really needs she/he/they?
