The Same Joke Fails in Two Very Different Settings

Last week a dancer told me she was working on her degree in cosmetology. I asked her if the universe was really expanding. She just gave me a blank look.

Well, I've had a worse response. About 10 years ago I was at a Christmas party at a country club I belonged to, and I was introduced to a woman professor who was a cosmologist. I asked her if I could make an appointment for a manicure. She gave me a stare so icy that I still feel chilled when I think about it.

Clever. Throw some more stand-up material for the strippers on here. ;^)

Both are funny to me; but I doubt they'll work very often on their intended audience.

I like it. You should have taken the professor as a challenge and tried to melt that iciness. The stripper was probably a lost cause.

Clever word play is usually lost on the masses, strippers included. Nice shot at the professor tho'! Those stuffy academics need to get over themselves anyhow!
