A classic joke goes like this: A nurse rushes into an exam room and says, “Doctor, doctor, there is an invisible man in the waiting room.” The doctor says, “Tell him I can’t see him.” Pretty simple, right?

Here is how I tell it: “A nurse—her name is Joyce—feels a presence in the waiting room. She looks around but sees nothing. She jumps up from her desk, carefully replaces her chair, and runs down the hallway to the doctor’s office. She knocks on the door. No response. He’s not there. Where can he be? She continues down the hall, admiring a picture of an 18th-century Mississippi boat along the way.” By the time, my audience has left, but I go on. “She bursts into the exam room and says, ‘Doctor, doctor!’ The doctor, I should mention...”

You get the idea. I can’t leave a simple joke alone.

I’m not the only joke-challenged member of the family. My sister’s worse than I am. Her problem: She can’t remember them. “‘A nurse rushes into an exam room and says...’ Uh, let me start all over again. ‘A nurse rushes into a waiting...’ No, it’s not the waiting room. She just came from the waiting room. Let me start all over again. ‘A doctor rushes into...’ No, wait…”

My uncle’s different. “Okay，this is a good one. Ready? No, really, ready? Okay, ‘A nurse...’ Got it? A nurse? Okay, ready? ‘A nurse rushes into an exam room and says: Doctor, there’s an invisible man in the waiting room.’ Now, this is where it gets funny. Ready?’ No one is ever ready, so they leave before he gets to the funny part.

No one in my family has ever finished this joke.

Next time you see my family and someone is telling a joke, do yourself a favour: Make yourself invisible.
