You’re hanging out with your friends, talking shit and cracking jokes at each other’s expense, and somebody says something that makes everyone else laugh. You don’t know why they are laughing, but you don’t want to seem out of place, so you’ll laugh along and laugh harder than anyone else. You’ll think about what they said and the context in which they said it, but your mind draws a blank as to why it’s funny. It’s always funny to see somebody finally get the joke, their eyes light up as it suddenly dawns on them and they let out a cackle. It might take a few minutes, it might take a few days, but it will click when you least expect it. You never want to admit that you don’t get a joke, and you especially don’t want to get called out for it. It’s better to be ignorant than embarrassed.
