Here, I shall show you the difference between things that are only slightly funny and things that are outrageously funny. Behold:
Situation #1: Contractor, heading off for his first day of work at a nuclear power plant in Wisconsin, tells convenience store clerk that he hopes he won't "blow the place up."
Humor Analysis: Mildly funny joke involving death and destruction of hundred. C+
Situation #2: Clerk mishears contractor and thinks he says he "came to blow the place up." Clerk calls FBI, leading to mass evacuation from the power plant.
Humor Analysis: Comical misunderstanding that leads to panic. A+!
