When someone tells a joke that you don't find funny, how do you react?

  • I smile out of politeness, but in my mind, I am thinking about something else.
  • I'm trying to understand the joke and I'm looking for a deeper meaning in it.
  • I will speak openly and say that it did not appeal to me, but I will be surprised by the next one.
  • I will start coming up with my own version of the joke to "save it."
  • I will honestly laugh, not because of the content, but because of the situation itself.
