Any suggestions on types of humor to use in the modern workplace, where there are many dangerous humor territories to avoid, how do we find the right and acceptable one-liner

I have been in a room or two where jokes fall flat simply because the context of "I'm attempting to be funny here" was completely lost on the crowd.

I'd think it would be a little dangerous to suddenly start trying out humor for effect in public.

This works very well if your reputation around humor precedes you into a room.

I imagine Reagan probably developed a rapport with groups where they were anticipating that jokes and one-liners would be coming.
