used my A material joke as my work icebreaker "fun fact" today. crickets. actual crickets.

context: this joke KILLS at the open mic (sometimes). tried it on 14 coworkers over morning coffee and got the same silence i get from hecklers who fell asleep. now i dont know if the joke is bad or corporate just has no soul
