Years ago, I was at a Toastmasters meeting and for one reason or another, there was an interruption that would take a couple of minutes.

I’d been going to Toastmasters for a while by then and knew the taste of the group fairly well. I figured that I could toss out something that sounded wildly inappropriate without actually being inappropriate. I came up with an opening line but didn’t bother making a joke to go with it.

I called out “How about ‘Two nuns and a hooker walk into a bar’?”

I got a laugh and didn’t get thrown out.

One of these days, I’ve gotta come up with a joke to go with it.
