New York doesn't think I'm funny

I can understand your confusion regarding the title.

You're thinking: How could anyone NOT find you funny?

I'm thinking: exaaaaaaaaaaaactly.

But here are the hard facts, folks: I have five colleagues that work in NY and they legitimately NEVER laugh or even respond to my very funny commentary on conference calls or via email. When I'm on the phone with them I try to make small talk, or make a hiiiilllllaaarrrious comment, and there are crickets. Nothin. Sometimes, I'm so shocked, I actually become convinced we became disconnected. I say things like "Hello? This thing on?" "Oh, guys, you must have cut out," "call me back when you have a good connection."

They respond dryly: "No. We're here."

Booooooooooooooo
