@Yaowen I do like this. I will have to try it. thank you!

@divine1966 i meant to comment, too, that saying "I don't understand" or "what do you mean by that" is an excellent idea too. In the case today, I was like "huh?" And actually did not understand completely at first, so it would have made sense too. I can see how it would work at other times too though. I have no idea what my face would be like, lol. I'll have to experiment.

I also really like the idea of just flat out saying "that's not funny."
