The dark joke that took me 6 years to finally tell right
I heard this Holocaust joke at a party in 2018 and bombed it three times trying to retell it. Last week I finally got the timing down, swapped the punchline order, and added one specific detail about a train schedule. Three people laughed, one person gave me a very slow blink, and my friend said 'that's the version you should've led with.' Has anyone else had a joke that only works after you've sat on it for years?
