Today in my class on Revelation we were discussing chapter 2, and so it was important to check how familiar students were with the echoes of Scripture, in particular the use of the names Jezebel and Balaam.
After one student correctly identified the latter as the person whose donkey had spoken, I made a very obvious joke about “talking out of his ass.” It pretty much flopped.
We’ve all heard bad jokes, but what are some of the worst jokes you’ve told? And what are the worst attempts at classroom humor you’ve encountered (even if they were not your fault)?
