Yes, definitely, they learn it at Wife School or something. I have some pretty good lines sometimes, and she doesn’t laugh at all, and I tell her, “you know, if our life was on TV, the audience would have just gotten a huge laugh and you don’t even think my jokes are funny.” And she just looks at me and says, “cause they’re not”.
LOL. Buddy often looked at me funny over my jokes, too. His way of getting back at me was—when I’d ask how his shower was, to reply: “Wet.” No accounting for taste or humor.
In my marriage, I am funny and my husband has zero sense of humor. The bastard coated bastard quote from Scrubs wouldn’t garner any response from him.
I make others LOL but he’s like talking to a stone. It’s quite boring.
