I'll either say nothing and have a stupid look on my face or just say the joke sucked.

I disagree and say it isn't funny.
I tell it like it is ysabel - that's how I roll!

I've got an idea - an idea so smart my head would explode if I even began to know what I was talking about.

It depends on the situation...if I'm at work and some creepo is hitting on me through the use of a lame joke, I'll usually pretend to laugh and then act busy rather than engaging in a conversation about the joke's meaning or risk seeming rude to a customer by giving them a blank face.
If it's around my friends I'll probably ask for clarification or just tell them it's dummmmb.

I don't give a reaction, and sometimes when the joke is stupid, I even tell the person face that it was stupid and made no sense at all.
If it's someone older, like my grandfather or something of that nature, then I'll pretend to laugh just to make him happy and not hurt his feelings.

I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can." Babe Ruth

Oh, you're right. I forgot I do that too.

I would need to ask.
Otherwise I'd just spend all my time thinking about it till I understood - and that could drive me insane :\

My granddad is a pain in the ****.so if it's not funny then I speet in his face! Well, ok, sometimes I pretend....

You treat me as an outsider. You call an outcast, brand me an exile, but I am not so different from your kind, you know. Some small part of me was once Human. Perhaps this is why I fight for you...
