The punchline was about how religion and prostitution are two of the oldest professions known to humanity only superseded by being a farmer.

    I guess you haven’t learned the unwritten rule on the three things you don’t talk about in the workplace: sex, religion, and politics.

    You got sex and religion in there, did you also try to work something in there about politics too?

    I called religion a profession/business. I think that covers it.

    This is unwise. Best case is people don't laugh at a lame variation of a very old joke, worst case is you lose your job for expressing intolerance of people's religion and/or for being demeaning towards women. Middle case is you get a lecture by HR.

    Unless your workplace is a comedy club, maybe stick to dad jokes. You're being paid to work, not be an edgy comedian. And your co-workers are most certainly not being paid to laugh at your jokes.

    If your workplace was a comedy club, the audience is still not being paid to laugh at your jokes and a big part of your job would be to read the room.

    What’s your setup? I do joke writing as a hobby.

    Oh cool! Show us! Can you write joke about Amelia Earhart? No coconut crabs, that's too easy.
