    What the joke & structure? What’s the setup? What’s the punchline? Asking legitimately so I can hear your comedic take.

      The punchline was about how religion and prostitution are two of the oldest professions known to humanity only superseded by being a farmer.

        I guess you haven’t learned the unwritten rule on the three things you don’t talk about in the workplace: sex, religion, and politics.

        You got sex and religion in there, did you also try to work something in there about politics too?

            This is unwise. Best case is people don’t laugh at a lame variation of a very old joke, worst case is you lose your job for expressing intolerance of people’s religion and/or for being demeaning towards women. Middle case is you get a lecture by HR.

            Unless your workplace is a comedy club, maybe stick to dad jokes. You’re being paid to work, not be an edgy comedian. And your co-workers are most certainly not being paid to laugh at your jokes.

            If your workplace was a comedy club, the audience is still not being paid to laugh at your jokes and a big part of your job would be to read the room.
