Sometimes a joke can come off very poorly. I was working as a cashier and a customer had a salad. A friend of hers said, "That's huge!" to which some random guy in line replied, "That's what she said." Awkward silence.
No, I don't think it was either. The insipid line, "That what she said." is adolescent. We were not in a high school cafeteria nor was the speaker a teen.
One has to try anything to improve the situation the other person is in. Humor seems to be the way to go if done correctly, but it's not like I make jokes all of the time. Just some of the time.
Humor can be tricky. If the other person is deadly serious humor will likely make him/her angry not happy. If you know the person well then you can probably guess when to use it and when to avoid it. Thank you for your reply Zack! :)
