🔤 Wordplay
My wife asked me to pass her the lipstick, but I accidentally passed her the glue stick.
She still isn't talking to me.
Why This Joke Works
The glue stick sealed her lips shut — which is why she 'still isn't talking.' The phrase 'not talking to me' normally signals an argument or silent treatment, but here it's physically, literally accurate. The joke operates on two planes at once and earns both readings.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Say 'she still isn't talking to me' with a sad, resigned sigh — as if you assume it's because she's upset, completely unaware of the more literal explanation. The obliviousness is the joke.
Perfect for:
- •At a craft night when someone mixes up supplies
- •When your partner is giving you the silent treatment and you want to defuse tension with a laugh
- •At a makeup tutorial party when someone asks about a product mix-up
