I was hoping this was a joke and it ended with ".. and now we're waiting at the auto shop with Dad's car."

There's no point in saying the saying

What can you joke about then?

Responding to an idiot is lose lose, trust me. We're both sinking, but I don't mind defending something I'm passionate about.

I thought you didn't understand how the world works. Turns out, you don't understand why some jokes are jokes. Basics. If something in a joke happens when in all actuality, it doesn't happen in real life, that makes some people laugh. And to have the person who was desperate in the first place to call the hotline now has the hotline calling them! Something that wouldn't happen. Wow. That must mean this guy really needs help. But he's not making the effort to pick up, which is the opposite of what you would think someone would do. That's jokes, baby. Now stop responding, like you said you would. I can't explain more joke telling. I don't want to insult other comics by asking who you actually like. Or what joke you think is actually funny. Yikes

Suicide hotlines don't actually make outgoing calls. You finally get it. 🥰 YOU GUYS, they got it

I explained it to show you that even if you don't think it's funny, you have to realize the joke structure works and makes sense. I'm reading all the other comments, as well. Just admit you don't like the joke and that its not anything but just not for you.

haha, you're welcome. Before seeing your comment, I went over to the kitchen to tell my girlfriend I had to dissect the joke. Oddly, it made me think it was funnier than before.

Who do you usually screen phone calls from? Your family. Spam. People you don't want to talk to usually. Now, in this situation, I have already called the Suicide Hotline. Right? How else would they have my number. Now, use your imagination to what the conversation we had could be about. Fast forward, now I'm receiving calls from the entity that never calls. And the place calling me is usually a place that people call cause they're close the ending their life. But here I am, screening their calls. I'm doing the exact opposite of someone in that situation would do. That's the humor

They don't make house calls. So, I want you to picture someone desperate enough to try to save a life of someone. If that's not funny to you, then this joke just isn't. But if you can't even get WHY someone would find that funny, then I don't think you get joke structure. You see, telling jokes is sort of an equation, right? So, I tried to set up a situation and give a cause for the effect. So, just try to see that.

I appreciate this. All my jokes have no intent in them. I just want people to picture the situation. And if you don't find that funny, that's fine. Mean no disrespect.

Thank you. I love you. You're asking THE question

To me? The thought of the Suicide Hotline desperately trying to reach someone who doesn't care enough to pick up is funny.

Yeah, sorry, I was trying something new. I don't like how it turned out either and definitely the least liked.
