I'm wasted on this audience (my parents). The TV just had some ad where a woman had all of her toes amputated due to diabetes, showed her nub foot. She said "you never think it'll happen to you, but until you put your foot into someone else's shoes..." and I said "Ha! Was that a pun?? That was toe-tally a pun.." and dad was like "yeah".

I crave appreciation for my comedy and I'm not getting it from these supposed "loved ones".
