This is what often happens when I make jokes. People tend to think I'm funny. (I'm not bragging. In the clique, I was the funny one. It's just truth.) I have my lame moments, don't worry. Sometimes the joke works better in my head than when it actually comes out. I wish I could press rewind in those moments so that I can maintain my image of funniness, but maybe those moments make it all the more real. (or maybe that was an example of me failing.)
I have an interesting phenomenon, though, that I have been seeing run rampant through my life recently. If it is a relatively new friendship, I am not witty. I think it comes with the shy thing. However, if we are talking over an email or other such media, I can still banter with the best of them. I must be such a disappointment in person then. I have a friend I've been talking with through messages and I like to think I've come across as quite charming. In person, I flounder for words and am awkwardly quiet. Hopefully, I only come across as shy and not as if I have split personalities.
Maybe, one day, the banter will happen in real life. I know it's plausible. Now, if only it were possible.
