- 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.
