I am a bit more forgiving IF someone is attempting a joke and it falls flat. I have made similar comments in a work capacity, most of the customers enjoyed the joke, some did not. Of course when I made my jokes it was obvious by my body language, smile, and slight change in voice that I was joking. Sometimes it still fell flat.
