i worked with an older woman that did the same thing ...

problem is - i can laugh at an unfunny joke - not even to be polite - i just cant.
bosses dont like that .. i just stare blankly trying unsuccessfully to force a smile on my face... the kind you make when you have a stomach cramp.

so this woman .. yeah she was relentless... one after another ...like a machine .. and NOTHING was even remotely funny .. i felt sorry for her.

its the lack of cleverness.. the absolute obviousness of everything that kills me .. if its remotely smart in any way - even in its silliness i can find a chuckle ..
