Navigating Communication and Social Rules with Humor: Insights and Experiences - CiteHR

We have all had to come up with an answer to that question that we just know has no right answer. We struggle, squirm, and stutter, but sooner or later, we have to come up with something. Usually, the problem is that the truth will hurt someone—the person asking the question, a friend you are supposed to be covering for, or maybe even you. But we do not want to tell an outright lie. So what are we to do?

Now, if everyone is ready, let's dive in and start off with that question that every man in a relationship fears...

When Your Significant Other Asks, "Do These Jeans Make Me Look Fat?"

Compared to what?

Woah! I mean... uh, no?

Baby, I don't think it's the jeans...

When the Teacher Asks, "Why Didn't You Turn in Your Homework?"

My dog ate it. I had to stuff it between two steaks, but she finally got it down.

It was so far below my intellectual capabilities I figured, why even bother.

Homework is nothing more than a tool of the fascist regime intended to oppress the masses.

I did turn it in. You must have lost it. Where can I file a complaint?

I request you to join me in sharing these kinds of funny questions and experiences.

Examples of Tricky Questions

Don't worry, I will give you more examples of these kinds of questions.

When your neighbor asks, "My kids haven't been bothering you with their playing out in the yard, have they?"
- Kids? I thought the circus had come to town.
- No, we hired the neighborhood bully to quieten them down.
- No worries. I have some special Kool-Aid for them if they get too rowdy.
- Hey, it helps me keep the spouse from wanting kids!

When the police officer asks, "Do you know how fast you were going?"
- I think the important thing to know is, do you?
- Well, I've never been able to get this baby above 120...
- I'll be honest with you, officer... When I am this drunk, it is hard to keep an eye on the speedometer... speed thingy.
- Apparently not fast enough!
