A tough crowd

I just endured the "New Hire Luncheon" at an organization for which I’ve worked for the past four years, and all of my jokes fell flat! We had to “interview” the person to our right with questions like "Coke or Pepsi?" "Diet or Regular," "How do you get to work?" etc.

My interviewee reported that she rode the 2 train to work and so I asked her how she liked it and she said it "stinks." So I told the group "Claire rides the Number Two train to work and it smells like it sounds." (A joke I’ve been saving for a long time) Everyone just stared at me...in the distance, a throat was cleared, someone coughed and I think a dog barked...
