Failed Attempt At Humor

You can’t understand how that sounds. You laugh, but you look like clowns. Don’t repeat the joke. Don’t assail my ears with what you would call a humorous tale. I don’t have the patience for this. My head pounds. I’d rather eat coffee grounds than listen to your waste of nouns. But heaven forbid you notice this detail. You can’t understand. Your obliviousness astounds. It begins to escape the bounds of what reality should entail. Yet you seem infinitely able to exhale nonsense. There is so much about you which confounds. You can’t understand.
