with most females teasing in a joking manner works well. However, being funny isn't about telling jokes in my opinion. Being funny is a persona. I know someone that is called funny all the time and I've never heard him tell a joke. He is funny because of his actions. For example, one time we were walking to the speed line and out of nowhere he goes over to a mailbox on someones lawn and rips it out of the ground. We found this to be hilarious just because he was doing it for the sake of being an ******* and unexpected.
